Oatmeal Craisin White Chocolate Chip Cookies

3 eggs, well beaten
1 cup craisins
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups oatmeal
(a little less than) 1 bag white chocolate chips

Combine eggs, craisins, and vanilla and let stand for one hour, covered with plastic wrap. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Add flour, salt, and baking soda to sugar mixture. Mix well. Blend in egg-craisin mixture, oatmeal, and chocolate chips. Dough will be stiff. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

(Using a full bag of chocolate chips seems to be a little too much with all of the sweetness of the craisins as well. This is an adapted oatmeal raisin cookie recipe--thanks Mom!-- so you can experiment with how many craisins and chocolate chips you want to use.)

Ooh!! Sounds yummy!! I love the paragraph at the bottom explaining why you use less than a full bag of chips. When I started reading the recipe and saw "less than 1 bag of chips" my thought was you ate the rest as you were cooking!! :D That's what I would do... :D
