Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

I have been a bit of a slacker this week! It's been a whole week since I've done any blog baking projects. I have to apologize ahead of time for the lack of posts in the month of May. I am looking at my May calendar, and 3 days in to the month, I feel like the whole month is gone already! I have such a busy month ahead of me, including a week long trip to Sumatra! Although this is a work trip, it is an adventure at the same time... I can't wait!

It's continuing to cool down here in the mornings and evenings. I have been craving something a bit more hearty, like oatmeal. Oatmeal cookies are great because you can throw just about anything in there with them! I chose dried cranberries and white chocolate for these ones, but sometimes I will add cinnamon, chocolate, anything you want!

enjoy!
