Amazing Cranberry, Orange, White Chocolate, Oatmeal Cookies

Yes, those are a lot of flavors packed into one small cookie.  But, oh are they worth it!  These cookies are simple to make and just as easy to eat!  I'm not a huge cookie fanatic, nor do I care for oatmeal cookies especially.  But these little gems are different.  They pack a serious punch of ooey-gooey goodness.

Recipe:
1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 6 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon orange extract (more if you like the stronger orange flavor)
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
3 cups Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup Craisins
1 cup white chocolate chips


Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat butter and sugars on medium speed of electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Add oats and raisins; mix well.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Store tightly covered.

Optional:  Drizzle cookies with white chocolate flavored with orange.  Yummo!
