betty's cranberry and oatmeal cookies
No Image
A sweet chewy cookie filled with tart, vibrant red cranberries - perfect for a lunch box or a beautiful homemade gift. I regularly make these for my four children and it's so easy that they can help. Cranberries can be swapped for other dried fruits: blueberries, strawberries, snipped dates or figs.
