Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nIt\u2019s National Cookie Day<\/strong> and you still have leftover cranberry sauce in the refrigerator from Thanksgiving. Make everyone happy with these treats! <\/p>\n

Note: if you don\u2019t have 1 \u00bd cups cranberry sauce, you can use one cup and throw in some dried cranberries. Or you can probably make the cookies with 1 cup. I think this is just what I had left when I made up the recipe! <\/em><\/p>\n

Second note: My leftover cranberry sauce was made with real berries. I do not know what would happen if you use the canned stuff with the lines in it. Leave a note and let us know if you try it!<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies<\/strong>
\n(Makes around 4 dozen)<\/p>\n

Cream together \u00bd cup butter (one stick) with 1 cup brown sugar. <\/p>\n

Add 2 beaten eggs (or, if you\u2019re like me and just made a pavlova for someone\u2019s birthday, three egg yolks)<\/p>\n

Stir in 1 \u00bd cups leftover cranberry sauce<\/p>\n

In a large measuring cup, mix 1 \u00bd cups flour (part whole wheat is fine) with 1 teaspoon baking soda, \u00bd teaspoon salt and 1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon. <\/p>\n

Add to the liquid mixture. Then mix in 3 cups of uncooked oatmeal (I use rolled oats, but I imagine quick oats would be okay, too. The cookies would be a little less chewy, presumably.) <\/p>\n

Drop generous tablespoons of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes. Cool one minute on the cookie sheet and then on a wire rack. <\/p>\n

Heard in my kitchen: \u201cThey have oatmeal; I\u2019m calling this breakfast!\u201d<\/p>\n

You can find many delicious cookie recipes in the New Inglenook Cookbook<\/a>, which is a wonderful Christmas gift!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
