Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies
Our Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies will bring back memories of Grandma's Cookie Jar and afterschool treats with the kids, that is only some of the memories these cookies bring back for me. This cookie recipe is a chewy cookie with the flavors of the oats and cranberry combination. Cookie making can be a fun family activity with the reward just a few minutes away, and they are out of the oven, on a cooling rack and ready to eat.

I'm loving your pretty teatime, Miz Helen! Your teacup, pretty pink plate, and your napkin look lovely together. Oh my, those cookies, how I'd love one. Oatmeal are my favorites!!! I used to have a Little Women book much like yours, but don't know what happened to it. Yours is a treasure!
