Ahh Pinterest. You never cease to inspire when it comes to my next baking venture. Recently, cookies of all kinds have been popping up on my feed and I couldn't resist the temptation any longer. The cookie of choice: Oatmeal Cranberry cookies. I'm not much of a fan of raisins and the cranberries add a nice twist to the traditional cookie. Caution: this recipe makes over 2 dozen cookies, so be sure to share (although that is easier said than done)! You can find the full recipe at the bottom.
