Oatmeal White Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Yay!!!!  Today is the second time I've participated in the Secret Recipe Club. This month I was given a really fun blog to pick a recipe from.  It's called Everyday Sisters and is written by four sisters.  What a great idea is that?!?  They seem like a really fun group of gals and, let me tell you, their blog is packed with yummy looking recipes.  In fact, it was honestly really tough to choose just one.  Good news is, now that I've found their blog, I will be back often.
My family loved these cookies.  They had a nice crunchy exterior and chewy interior.  Don't you just love that combination?  They were loaded with lots of goodies that really made them fab-u-lous!!!  I had a kinda hard time getting the dough to come together well.  Not sure exactly what I did wrong but I just compressed the dough in a ball and flattened them slightly before baking.  It worked out very nicely!  I made mine with white chocolate chunks (from a Lindt white chocolate bar), dried cranberries and pecans.

Oatmeal Cookies:from Everyday Sisters
Ingredients:
12 Tbls (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter 
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 
2/3 cup granulated sugar 
1 large egg 
1 teas vanilla extract 
2 cups old fashioned rolled oats 
1 1/4 cups flour 
3/4 teas baking powder 
3/4 teas baking soda 
1/4 teas salt 
1 cup of dried cranberries or raisins 
1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts 
1 cup of chocolate chips 
Instruction:
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream the butter and sugars with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth. 
2. Stir together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the batter until just combined. Stir in the dried fruit, nuts and chocolate. 
3.Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto 2 large baking sheets (no need to grease them), leaving 2 inches between each ball of dough. Bake until the cookies are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets for several minutes and then transfer them to a rack to cool further.
