Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cardamon (I subbed using Ginger and its fine, same amt)
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients. Add to butter mixture and stir until well blended. Add dried cranberries. Drop by teaspoonful onto parchment covered baking sheet. Bake about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool

The recipe states it makes 5 dozen cookies. I made mine a little bigger and it made only 4 dz but that is still a good amount. I may play around with this recipe sometime soon again and see how I could sub the flour, etc for a gluten free version.

They tasted really good! The recipe is from Food Network.com

For those of you with sugar, gluten, etc allergies, or diabetes (like me) I did substitute the white sugar for Splenda and it tasted fine. "
