Chewy Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies

I have a confession to make... These cookies almost didn't make it to the blog! Why, you ask? Well, simply put, we couldn't stop eating them! I almost ran out of cookies before I could get a chance to take photos of them. Luckily, we showed some self control and were able to save just enough for taking photos; because trust me - you're going to want to make these!
These are thick and chewy cookies with just a hint of oatmeal and loaded with dried cranberries and white chocolate - AKA they are delicious! They're kinda like oatmeal raisin cookies - but so, so much better. You no longer have to choose between oatmeal chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin; these cookies have both fruit and chocolate!
These are so simple to make, and unlike a lot of oatmeal based cookies, they don't need to chill in the fridge! That means you can go from no cookies to super delicious cookies in less than 30 minutes! That is a huge win in my house - we don't like to be kept waiting for yummy cookies.

Mmmmm going to make these tomorrow..
I enjoy baking and am always on the lookout for something different. These cookies went together as described. They really spread out on the cookie sheet but my family raved at the flavor. I made a second batch and made a few adjustments to the recipe. I increased the flour to 2 cups and put the batter in the refrigerator for 2 hours before baking them. I also got 3 dozen good sized cookies. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you.
