How To Make Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies
I always start by preheating the oven, before I get going and forget. Have you ever started cooking, go to put food in the oven, only to realize that it was cold?? No?
Just me?
Okay, well then just preheat your oven to 375℉ so that is not your story for this recipe either.

Then add in your eggs and vanilla, and mix that good as well. Fold in white chocolate chips and cranberries, making sure to over-mix things.
