Dad's Oatmeal Cookies

My parents are visiting this weekend!  I go through these phases where I get completely home sick - even though I haven't lived at home for nearly 9 years.  That feeling you get when you miss your family so much it's all you can think about, it leaves a weird feeling in the pit of your stomach.  I guess I should be thankful that my family is so wonderful that I can't help but to miss them all.  That said, my mom and dad are visiting this weekend.  I am so excited to see them!  In honor of their visit, I've decided to make my dad'sfavorite oatmeal cookies.  Instead of raisins I'm using cranberries and adding white chocolate chips.  So good!
