Every year in June, we San Franciscans are blessed with Alice's Summerthing, a free concert in the park where well-known bands play. This year we had a great line up: One Republic, Michelle Branch, Matt Nathanson, Parachute, and Andrew Allen. For the last few years, JSB and I go to the concert if we have time, but we have one criterion. Good food is a must. We made pasta salad, mini-sandwiches, and jello in the past.
Because our other sister, K, was joining us and JSB had invited some friends, I decided that this year I needed to up my game. I decided on a potato salad for the main and white chocolate & dried cranberries oatmeal cookies for dessert. K contributed by making some beef jerky. JSB helped out by making grass jelly and a fruit salad.
These cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy in the center. The sugary creamy sweetness from the white chocolate works well with the tangy cranberries. Oh, and the addition of oats give the cookies the chew, which adds another texture. If you want a taste bud sensory party, these are for you!
