Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

These are yummy! At first, we thought there wasn't enough mix to support all the extras - raisins, cranberries, and white chocolate chips. In the end I actually added a little more flour and oatmeal. I may tweak it a little more in the next attempt.

1 cup butter softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups AP flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 cups quick-cook oats
1 cup raisins
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
1 TBsp grated orange peel
1 12oz pkg vanilla chips

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs - 1 at a time, beating well after each (this part we forgot!)
Beat in vanilla.
Combine flower, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and gradually add to creamed mix. Stir in oats, raisins, cranberries, and orange peel. Stir in vanilla chips.

Drop by tsp 2" apart.
375º 10 - 12 minutes

A few thoughts: I used 1/2 cup fresh cranberries because the dough didn't seem like it could support full cup. In future, I will add all. Also, it was first time cutting fresh berries and wasn't quite sure what to do with the tiny seeds - didn't seem to bother recipe tho!
I also turned the oven to 365º and went 11 minutes, we must have a hot oven!

Hope you enjoy these!
