Preheat oven to 350 degrees F., rack in the middle position.
1 cup
butter, melted (2 sticks)
1 cup

1/2 tsp
baking soda
1/2 tsp
salt
2
eggs, beaten
1 tsp
vanilla
1/4 tsp
cinnamon
1/8 tsp
nutmeg
2 cup
flour
1 1/2 cup
sweetened dried cranberries (Craisins or another brand) ***
1 1/2 cup
rolled oats (uncooked oatmeal)

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Melt butter in large microwave-safe bowl. Add sugars and let cool a bit. Add eggs, baking powder, baking soda, salt and vanilla. Add flour and mix. Then add the cranberries and oats and mix everything up. The dough will be quite stiff.
2 Drop by teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet, 12 to a sheet.
3 Bake at 350 degrees F. for 12-15 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Remove to rack until cool.

Yield: 5 to 6 dozen, depending on cookie size

Cooking Tips
*** If you can't find the cranberries where you live you can substitute any chopped dried fruit such as dates, apricots, peaches, etc.
These freeze well if you roll them in foil and put them in a freezer bag.
