Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies (from Ocean Spray Craisins)

2/3 cup butter, softened

2/3 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1-1/2 cups old fashioned oats, like Quaker

1-1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1, 5 ounce package Ocean Spray Craisins Dried Cranberries

6 ounces white chocolate chips, preferably Ghiradelli

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Set aside 2 ungreased cookie sheets.

Place butter into the bowl of an electric mixer.  Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

Start beating butter, add brown sugar and mix together for 1-2 minutes until thoroughly combined.  Add eggs and beat until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.

Add flour mixture and mix until almost combined.  Then add oats and mix until almost combined.  Add cranberries and white chocolate chips and mix until just combined.  Do not over mix.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet, spacing evenly (see picture below).  Bake for ~ 8 minutes, turn pan 180 degrees and bake for another 4 minutes.  These times might vary depending on your oven.  Do not over bake.  When the cookies are slightly brown around edges, even though the cookie itself might not look cooked, they are done.

Remove cookies from oven and let cool on pan for 5 minutes.  Then remove onto a wire rack to cool completely.
