White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

We adore the smell of oatmeal cookies baking in the oven. It has to be one of the best smells in the world. I would totally buy an oatmeal cookie candle or if I was reading a magazine and there was an advertisement for oatmeal cookie perfume with one of those flaps that you can pull out and rub on your wrist, I would pull out the flap in a heartbeat. Let’s be honest, I would do that with most cookies!

These big chewy oatmeal cookies are packed with white chocolate and cranberries, they just scream the holidays to us. We made these for the Holiday issue of maché and had a blast taking the photos with Heather, you should check out the whole feature, it is so adorable! (Look for the Hand in the Cookie Jar Feature on page 54).

Oh, oatmeal cookies, how we love you!
