This Recipe was exactly what I was looking for. They came out PERFECT. I did use orange flavored driend cranberries, Splenda brown sugar blend which uses half as much volume than regular brown sugar and I used quick cooking oats because that is what I had on hand. I also added the 2t of vanilla that was reccommended by other users. I found that 11 minutes in my vintage oven was good for me. They came out very light and incredibly tasty! I will definately use this recipe again and I reccommend it to EVERYONE!!

These are one of my alltime favorite cookies & I'm glad to find a recipe that I love. I'll definitely add this to my holiday cookie tins year after year.

I made these for a school bake sale and they flew off the table. I love that it's not really sweet, and that they're always moist. I substituted the white chocolate for milk chocolate and they taste just as good, if not better. They're especially good when slightly warm, 10 seconds in the microwave or 10 minutes out of the oven. Only complaint would be that they're too small. I think 20, 25 cookies from one batch makes a better size cookie.

Amazing blend of textures and flavors. I always substitute about 1/4 c whole wheat flour for white for a little more ctustiness on the outside (and a little more fiber). Walnuts also add to the flavor and taste dynamic. But the recipe is great as is. A big hit with my family and my classmates!

I added a banana, some vanilla, and substituted half of the cranberries for dried blueberries. It ended up tasting really good. I also used milk chocolate instead of white.

Very good cookie. Mine were a little lumpy and not very flat, but they tasted fine. Definitely benefits from the vanilla.

I've made 2 batches in a week. I added 2 tablespoon of vanilla and about 1 tsp of cinnamon. I made half the batch with about 1/4 cup of walnuts.They are not real sweet which I like. They are best right out of the oven while they are still warm and the white chocolate is still melted.Ummmm! My husband loves them as well as my 1 1/2 year old. I made half the batch without walnuts for them. I am a nut person so I think they are best with the walnuts added. I made these last night for family members and everyone raved over these cookies. They all wanted the ones with the walnuts. I got this recipe the first time from the back of the dried cranberry package. It was thrown away not knowing what a hit they would be, so I went online and found this. I'm saving it this time.

I'm impressed! A very tasty combination of flavors. I added 3/4 c. pecans and 2 tsp. vanilla as others suggested, and they were great. The dough wasn't very sweet and I almost added more sugar, but after adding the white chocolate chips it was the perfect amount of sweetness. This one is unique, a keeper!

I added the vanilla as other reviewers suggested but still thought the batter was missing something. I added abt 1/2 tsp orange flavoring and that was it! It was enough to "wake up" the cookie base and was a great compliment to the cranberry and chocolate. I also added 1 c pecan pieces for crunch. These freeze and travel well.

Very good! I subbed semi-sweet chips and used margarine, and added 2 tsp. of vanilla to each batch. I made bigger cookies (heaping spoonfuls) and doubled the recipe, and I think I came out with about 3 and a half dozen. Well received both at home and at a party I brought them to. Will probably make again, since I like the brown sugar in place of white.

Oh my goodness are these GOOD! But to be fair I did bake these according to the other raters suggestions. I added vanilla, used fresh cranberries (as I had those on hand), was out of flour (or I would have used whole wheat) so I used self rising (all I had), and I did flatten out the cookies before I baked them. I am also a nut lover, so next time I make these, and I will, I will throw in some chopped nuts. Oh, I also got 3 1/2 dozen from this batch, maybe I made them smaller than they need be, but I didn't want them baking too close together....and I did cut back on the baking time...9-10 minutes. Yummy!! Please give these a try.

Without a doubt, these are my FAVORITE cookies EVER! I love that they use less butter and sugar than typical cookies yet in taste, you would have no idea. As if that isn't enough the recipe actually yields exactly what it says it will. A MUST try!

These cookies did need the added vanilla. I also used fresh cranberries, and found that cooking them for 12 minutes was too much--8 minutes was better.

Lightly sweet and very tasty. I added a shot of vanilla to help round things out. Like other reviewers say, these cookies are fairly lumpy and don't flatten out in the oven. If you want a more traditional cookie shape, flatten them out by hand before baking.

I really expected these cookies to be better, given the indgredients. They tasted fine (not wonderful) but were kind of crumbly and lumpy-looking. They taste better than they look though. I was going to add some vanilla like other reviewers suggested but forgot. That probably would have helped. I don't think I will make these again.

Great cookies! There was just something stopping these from being 5 star. Next time I will use fewer oats and add some vanilla. But VERY tasty and relatively low in calories for a cookie. A great holiday snack.

Wow, these cookies are sugary! A little too many white chocolate chips for my liking, so probably will decrease the sugar and chips on the next batch. Definitely a great rich cookie! YUMMY!
