NOTES

STORE White Chocolate Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–5 days. If you prefer, you can refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 1 week. To FREEZE, place the cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep well in the freezer for up to 1 month. 
You can also freeze the raw dough balls the same way and bake them straight from frozen—just add an extra 1–2 minutes to the baking time. To REHEAT, warm the cookies in a 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) oven for about 3–5 minutes to bring back that fresh-baked texture.
