These cookies are just sooo scrumptious! Nuts, cranberries and white chocolate! Mine came out nice and crunchy outside and chewy inside, just the way we love them! The egg I used was small and the batter was very crumbly, not soggy at all, and that I think resulted the crunchynes instead of being all soft and chewy. I added 1/2 tsp salt and left the cinnamon out, as I don't care for it in the oat cookies.

These cookies are excellent!! I did double the recipe and they disappeared on the cookie trays first. They were moist and chewy! Thanks for a great cookie recipe M&Mers : )
