Yield: 5 dozen.
Ingredients: 1 cup butter-flavored shortening; 1 cup sugar; 1 cup packed brown sugar; 2 eggs; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 2-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats; 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1-1/3 cups dried cranberries; 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

I developed this recipe after sampling a similar cookie while traveling in North Carolina. These pretty cookies keep well in the freezer, so I always have some on hand for midday munching.

Ingredients

1 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/3 cups dried cranberries
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Directions

In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the cranberries and walnuts.
Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Crunchy outside and slightly chewy inside with a hint of cinnamon; these are very satisfying cookies!
