Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

These cookies must be good.  I made them yesterday and there are none left today, actually there were none left last night.  No, I was not being a pig.  My family came for a quick visit and we went out and ate a huge dinner.  After dinner we ate these cookies for dessert.  My dad ate about twelve of them.  There were only two left on the plate, so we bagged them up and sent them home with them.  Tonight my mom already called me and told me she had just looked at my blog looking for the recipe since my dad liked the cookies so much.  So mom here is the recipe.

Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

1 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 & 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries

In a mixer cream together the butter, both sugars, egg, and the vanilla extract.

Then add the flour, salt, and baking soda.  Mix until just combined.  Add the oats and mix until the oats are incorporated.

Then add the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.  Mix until just combined.

Press the cookie dough into a greased 11x13 inch pan.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.  The cookies should be golden brown and the center should be set.  Allow to cool in the pan and cut into 24 bars.

This is real simple recipe.  I hope you will like them as much as my dad did.
