Loved the combination of the chocolate chips with cranberries, but had difficulty with the dough itself. Was only able to use about 2 1/2 cups of the oats because the dough was too stiff. Double checked all the ingredients to be sure I hadn't forgotten anything thing . . then added a couple tablespoons of water to get the right consistency. I am up in the mountains and the air is dry, so that may be part of the problem, just seems like alot of flour and oats for only one cup of butter and 2 eggs.

This is an outstanding cookie indeed. Loved the addition of the dried cranberries. Next week when I make them for our home study group, I going to do a 50/50 with the chocolate chips and cranberries. Thanks for sharing
