Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies with White Chocolate

I found this recipe in a magazine. It sounded good so I copied it down and did not think a whole lot about it till over the holidays. I happen to love dried cranberries and had several packages on hand so I thought why not give it a try. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did.
