You can add a bit more cranberry's, chips or even a little less, it will always come out Oh So Good. I tired raisins vice berry's - good, I tried blueberry's too - good. Don't be afraid to "mix & match this recipe as the base ingredients do allow for some "experimenting". I use cake flour for all my baking and in cookies, they always come out very tender and light, just reduce the time by 3-5 minutes.

I have tried this recipe a couple of months ago. I took them to work and my coworkers went CRAZY. They loved them. So the next time I made them I used dried blueberries instead of the dried cranberries. My coworkers went DERLIRIOUS LOL. I like using the blueberries the best because the taste of the blueberries goes through the cookies. Plus the blueberries with the white chocolate and oatmeal made it taste OOH IT'S SOOOO GOOD. RIP MR FOOD AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME LOVE 1 OF MY 1ST LOVES WHICH IS COOKING.

These were wonderful! I will add nuts next time, probably cashews as they are a softer nut. I slightly underbaked them as I like softer cookies, 10 minutes as opposed to 12 minutes, and I use an air baking sheet (or two cookie sheets set inside each other) so the bottoms get too brown. Give them a try! I also preferred the Mariani brand cranberries to the SunMaid Cape Cod as they were larger and softer. Now, go make these cookies!

It's not the cookie sheets. It's the oven.

I've made these and they are really delicious. When I don't have dried cranberries, I use candied cherries.

I THINK THE ADDITION OF NUTS, EITHER WALNUTS OR PECANS, WOULD BE SOMETHING I WOULD ADD TO THIS RECIPE.
