Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

It’s pretty unusual for my husband to make a request for a specific baked good, so when he does, I do my best to deliver. That was the case with these Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies – he asked, and I wanted to make it happen! A quick search for recipes online didn’t come up with much, so I pulled out my trusty church cookbook, swapped out shortening for butter, raisins for cranberries and voila! We both absolutely loved these, and agreed this recipe is a keeper!
