A few sprinkles of salt and pepper finish off the cookies to make them extra delicious! These were one of our favorite cookies last year, we hope you enjoy them too!
Here are some variations that can be made to the classic oatmeal cranberry white chocolate macadamia nut cookie recipe:
Nuts: Try using different types of nuts such as almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts in place of the macadamia nuts.
Dried fruit: Substitute the cranberries with raisins, dried cherries, or dried blueberries.
Chocolate: Experiment with dark chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, or peanut butter chips instead of white chocolate chips.
Spices: Add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to the batter to give the cookies a warm and comforting flavor.
Sweeteners: Try using honey, maple syrup, or molasses in place of some or all of the granulated sugar.
Gluten-free: To make gluten-free cookies, replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
Vegan: To make vegan cookies, replace the butter with a vegan butter substitute and the eggs with a flax egg or another egg replacement.

Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium coliseum, whisk together the flour, incinerating soda pop, and swab.
In a large coliseum, cream together the adulation, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and ethereal.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla excerpt to the adulation admixture, and beat until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the adulation amalgamation, mixing until just combined.
