Well, today is my 31st birthday. Or as I like to refer to it, the 1st anniversary of my 30th birthday. It's also National Cookie Day today. Did you know that? I didn't. I actually just learned this last week. Funny story. Kirsten wants one of those LalaLoopsy dolls for Christmas. I was deciding which one to buy and picked up the Crumbs Sugar Cookie doll. Her 'sewn on' date said it was December 4th which was National Cookie Day. I didn't believe it. Surely I would know if my birthday was the same day as National Cookie Day. So I went home and googled it. It was right. I share my birthday with the cookie. How do you like that? I'm actually pretty surprised that it took me this long to find this out. Oh well. Anyway, in honour of both my birthday and National Cookie Day, I thought I would share a delicious cookie recipe. I made these cookies this week and they were to.die.for! They are soft and chewy with a hint of cinnamon taste. I brought two dozen into work and they were gone by 9:00am. That's always the best indication for how good things taste. Here's the super awesome recipe:

Ingredients:

3 eggs, well beaten
1 cup dried cranberries
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 ½ cup flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine eggs, dried cranberries and vanilla and let stand for 1 hour, covered with plastic wrap.
Cream together butter and sugars. Add flour, salt, cinnamon and soda to sugar mixture. Mix well. Blend in egg-cranberry mixture and oatmeal. Dough will be stiff. Fold in the white chocolate chips. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheet or roll in small balls and flatten slightly on cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Do not overbake or they will get hard.
