1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
zest of one large orange
3 large eggs
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 cups quick-cooking oats
2 1/4 cups dried cranberries
18 ounces white chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the sugar, brown sugar, butter, and orange zest.
Add in eggs and vanilla extract and mix.
Add the cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and flour and mix well.
Add the oatmeal, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips. You may need to hand-mix as the dough will be quite stiff. Make sure everything is well-distributed.
Using a 1 5/8 ounce ice cream scoop (#20 yellow handle, about 3 TBSP), scoop dough, level flat, and deposit onto greased cookie sheet about 2-3 inches apart.
Using a fork, partially flatten each dough ball until it is about 3/4" to 1/2" thick.
Bake at 375° for 15-17 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from oven and then transfer cookies to cooling rack.
Makes about 45 cookies.
