1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 cup white chocolate chip
1 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 350°.
Cream together shortening &sugars. Add egg & vanilla. Stir in flour, salt & soda. Stir in oatmeal, chips & berries.
Drop by spoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake 10-12 minutes.
Enjoy!

*****************

This recipe actually came from the back of the  Craisins package.

I tried this recipe a couple weeks ago and the cookies were SO good, I decided it was a keeper  and I had to make them again just the other day! 

Side note:  I use parchment lined baking sheets.

Enjoy your day!
