I was looking for a way to make a new twist on my favorite classic cookie - oatmeal raisin. I've stocked up on all kinds of chocolate chips from deals I found last winter and was looking for something new to make for a family potluck and my oatmeal cookies are always a huge hit. This funky twist on oatmeal chocolate chip cookies was fun, the sweetness of the white chocolate perfectly balances the tart pop of the cranberries - fun, yummy, and full of flavor. This cookie packs a flavor punch!
