Smells like Christmas

Today, my house smelled like Christmas. It was glorious. In this summer AZ heat, I needed a way to "cool" our house down and this did the trick! This cookie is my all time favorite cookie in the whole world. I love the combo flavors of white chocolate chips and cranberries-it makes me really happy-and with oatmeal and cinnamon in the mix? Well, that just makes it acceptable for breakfast right??

I searched high and low for a yummy recipe and found it here and adapted it a little. I like it way better than a traditional oatmeal raisin cookie. This cookie will not disappoint I promise you.
