We all love oatmeal cookies at our house — the combination of chewy and crunchy, sweet and hearty. But raisins? Well, not so much. Some of us like raisins. Others prefer chocolate chips and after years of splitting my batch and making separate stacks of two different versions every time I made oatmeal cookies, I decided to look for another solution. Enter, dried cranberries. I’ve made these twice since seeking out this recipe and they’ve been a hit both times. Hope you enjoy this twist on a classic, too.
