CRANBERRY OATMEAL COOKIES

1 c butter, softened
1 1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
2 c flour
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/4 t baking soda
2 c quick oats
1 c raisins (I omit these and double the cranberries)
1 c chopped fresh cranberries (I usually just use the dried)
1 T grated orange peel
1 (12 oz) pkg vanilla chips
1 c chopped nuts (optional)

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture. Stir in oats, raisins, cranberries, and orange peel. Stir in vanilla chips and nuts. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake 375 for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
