That's a uncommon combination...wow! I'll bet they were good!

you can find the recipe on the back of a bag of craisins OR on the ocean spray website...I sell them in the cafe and they're more popular than chocolate chip. here is the recipe.

2/3 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 6-ounce package Ocean Spray® Craisins® Original Sweetened Dried Cranberries

2/3 cup white chocolate chunks or chips

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Using an electric mixer, beat butter or margarine and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mixing well. Combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Add to butter mixture in several additions, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sweetened dried cranberries and white chocolate chunks.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.

For those who've never eaten a turkey before - who's cooking the bird?

Here's a list of what my family (mom) would traditionally prepare for Thanksgiving:

Roasted Turkey

Honey Baked Ham

Stuffing

Sweet Potato Casserole (with mini-marshmallows on top)

String Beans

Cranberry Sauce

Gravy (made from the broth of boiling the neck and heart)

Ambrosia

Sweet Peas

Mashed Potatoes

Rolls

....

Desserts:

Pumpkin Pie

Pecan Pie

Apple Pie

Minsmeat (sp) Pie

...all of which were topped with whipped heavy cream.

that Thanksgiving menu reminds me of when I was a kid and all the families would get together at my Aunts house.

The white chocolate cranberry cookies are awesome!! My sister used to make them and she used the recipe from the bag.

I'm a better cook than I am a baker.

Mylene made some rice pudding for an early Thanksgiving party Sunday .. yummy ..

For thanksgiving day we will be at my sisters home, but Mylene is planning on making Bico (sweet rice) and Lumpiang Shanghai .. they have all had her lumpia before and absolutely love it, but I think that the bico will be another crowd pleaser.
