Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

3 eggs, well beaten

1 cup dried cranberries

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 1/2 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 cups oatmeal

1 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine eggs, dried cranberries and vanilla and let stand for 1 hour, covered with plastic wrap.

Cream together butter and sugars.  Add flour, salt, cinnamon and soda to sugar mixture.  Mix well.  Blend in egg-cranberry mixture and oatmeal.  Dough will be stiff.  Fold in the white chocolate chips.  Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheet or roll in a small balls and flatten slightly on cookie sheet.  Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

These cookies were amazing! I loved them!  They make about 4 dozen cookies.  My tips: 1. make sure that you allow time for the cranberry mixture to sit for one hour! 2. Make sure that you don't allow to cookies to bake over the allotted time limit... or they'll burn! (trust me)
