Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

I am a huge fan of white chocolate, and will gladly choose white chocolate over milk or dark chocolate any day. Therefore, when I received this recipe as part of a recipe swap that I participated in, I knew I would love them. My first thought when I took a bite of these cookies was that they taste like Christmas! Seriously. The oatmeal gives the cookies a chewy texture, while the sweet white chocolate balances the tartness of the cranberries. The result?  A fabulous kicked-up oatmeal cookie, that would be the perfect addition to your holiday cookie tray.
