Outrageous Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Raisin Cookies

Yield: 80 + cookies depending on size

Ingredients:

2 cups white sugar
2 cups butter, softened
2 cups peanut butter
4 eggs
2 cups quick oats
1 tsp. salt
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 cups flour
4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 package dark chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries or raisins (or both combined)
1/4 cup water
3-5 drops Young Living orange essential oil (optional)

Directions:

First I like to soften the dried cranberries and raisins by soft boiling them in a small saucepan with 1/4 cup water for about 5 minutes.
Cream butter and white sugar in a mixing bowl. Then continue to cream in peanut butter, then the eggs.
Next add the dry ingredients. I prefer to combine all of my dry ingredients in a large bowl and gently mix them together before adding to the mixing bowl. This ensures everything gets mixed in evenly.
Last, add the vanilla, chocolate chips, and cranberries/ raisins
optionally add 3-5 drops orange essential oil for a sweeter citrus(y) taste. Yum.
Scoop small spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet and bake for 10-14 minutes at 350°.

This recipe yields close to 100 small/ medium cookies! I typically half the ingredients recipe and still have about 50-60 cookies depending on the size I make them.
I choose to add less sugar to this recipe so I like that the orange essential oil adds a light natural sweetness.
