OATMEAL WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP CRANBERRY COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time and stir in the vanilla.
• 2. In separate bowl, mix flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture slowly so it's perfectly integrated.
• 3. Add oatmeal one cup at a time and stir in until well-combined. I find this step is easier to do sometimes with a big wooden spoon instead of with the Kitchenaid mixer. The mixer sometimes gets overwhelmed by the heft of the oatmeal!
• 4. Add white chocolate and cranberries and mix well. Let refrigerate for half an hour.
• 5. Place walnut-sized balls on lightly greased baking sheet. These don't flatten out much so if you like a flatter cookie, flatten with a fork dipped in sugar (or the palm of your hand!). Bake at 375 for 8 minutes. They will come out looking really doughy, but they stiffen as they cool. 8 minutes results in a perfectly chewy cookie.
