Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

My boys LOVE cookies.  My husband especially loves cookies that are a little more toothsome and chewy and not too sweet.

I make double batches of this cookie and bake some and roll the remainder of the dough in wax paper and saran wrap them keep it in the freezer.  I can then slice and bake the cookies whenever we have friends over for play dates.

Friends call these “Tammy’s Famous Oatmeal Cookies”, everyone loves them (even my mom who does not like cookies) and they are the favorite cookie of many people.

Enjoy!
