Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk Cookies

These cookies were first introduced to me by my very talented sister Lora Sullivan. She made them as a dessert for General Conference October 2009. They were such a big hit, I just have to post them here to. Also courtesy of oceanspray. I made them later in the year and my mother in law Cheryl Tennant just loved them too. So enjoy

2/3 cup butter softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
