These oatmeal cookies have lightly crisp edges and chewy middles laced with dried cranberries and white chocolate chunks.
Note: Plan ahead when making these cookies. The dough needs to rest for at least two hours in the fridge before baking. When the cookies come out of the oven they will be brown but still a little underbaked on top. They'll firm up as they cool.
