This cookie just shouts fall flavors and with oatmeal a bonus
There is something about fresh cranberries to kick off the cookie-baking season that is so festive with color, fall flavors, and just how pretty they are.
The white chocolate offsets the tartness of the cranberries perfectly for that perfect bite!
These are a nice addition to make a festive cookie tray throughout the season and Christmas cookies are always a tradition in our home.

- added some grated orange zest for another flavor enhancer and a pinch of cinnamon to the batter
