White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

Christmastime is all about giving, spreading cheer, being with loved ones, and...hmm...oh(!) making delicious holiday cookies, of course! Last week, I kicked off the month with these thumbprint cookies. Today, I continued the month of magical cookie-making with White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies, and I can honestly say they are by far my favorite kind of cookie. They're like the grown-up version of oatmeal raisin cookies: packed with chewy oats, tart cranberries, and silky white chocolate.

I'd recommend to give these cookies a whirl for your next holiday party, cookie exchange, or maybe even simply for a cold winter evening while watching Christmas Vacation. You won't be disappointed!

What You Need
**Makes about 35-40 cookies**
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup golden brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup cranberries

What You Do
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper (or grease).

2. Mix flour (2cups), oats (1 1/2cups), baking soda (1tsp), and salt in a medium-sized bowl, set aside.

3. In a large bowl, mix together the butter (1cup), brown sugar (1cup), and white sugar (1cup) until fluffy. Then mix in the egg (1) and vanilla extract (1tsp). Add flour mixture and combine until well incorporated. Lastly, fold in the white chocolate chips (1cup) and cranberries (1cup).
