Oatmeal White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

These cookies appear at nearly every holiday and gathering, and rarely are leftover. The oatmeal keeps the texture chewy while the sweetness of the white chocolate and the tart cranberries give them richness. I’ve given platters of these for gifts and frequently receive a message asking for the recipe.

They keep well and bake evenly, which makes great for hoarding at home or taking on a road trip. Children and adults alike reach for them.
