Title: Cranberry-Oatmeal Cookies
Categories: Cookies &, Bars
Yield: 1 Servings

3 Sticks margarine
1 3/4 c Light brown sugar
2 lg Eggs
1 1/2 tb Honey
2 ts Vanilla
1/2 ts Salt
2 c Flour
18 oz Old fashioned rolled oats
12 oz Fresh cranberries; coarsely
-chopped
Zest of 1 orange; finely
-chopped
1 1/4 c Walnuts; chopped

Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Cream the
margarine and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs, honey,
vanilla and salt and beat until smooth and creamy. Using a large wooden
spoon or your hands, work in the flour and oats until well combined. Add
the cranberries, orange zest and walnuts. Mix until evenly incorporated.
With your hands, form the dough on the baking sheets into patties 1/2-inch
thick and 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter. Bake the cookies until lightly
browned, but still soft at the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on wire
racks. Makes 4 dozen cookies.

NOTES : The original recipe also called for 1/2 cup of golden raisins but
my husband can't tolerate them so I had to leave them out. The original
recipe also said this only makes 25 cookies, but I came out with 4 dozen
good-sized cookies. (????)
