Oatmeal Craisan Cookies

I make these cookies so much I don't even need the recipe anymore.  My son craves them, my friends pay for them, need I say more?

I found this recipe under the lid of a container of Quaker Oats and they have been our favorite since day one.  I replaced the raisans with "craisans", dried cranberries.

Vanishing Oatmeal Craisan Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Beat together butter and sugars until creamy.  Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.  Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well.  Stir in oats and craisans; mix well.  Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack.
