Ingredients
- 2 c. Dry cranberries
- 1 1/2 c. Shortening
- 2 c. Firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 c. Granulated sugar
- 2 x Large eggs
- 1/2 c. Water
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 2 c. Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 6 c. Oatmeal
- 2 box (10-ounce) large semi-sweet chocolate chips or possibly chunks
Directions
- From the Seattle Times food section, makes about 4 dozen.
- Place cranberries and 1/4 c. water in a bowl, cover and microwave at 100 percent power for 2 min. Let stand for 1 minute, then drain and cold.
- (Don't use fresh or possibly frzn cranberries.)
- With an electric mixer, beat shortening, brown and granulated sugars, Large eggs, water, and vanilla together till creamy in a large bowl.
- Place flour, salt and soda in a medium bowl and stir with a wire whisk to combine well. Add in to creamed mix and blend well.
- Stir in the oatmeal, chocolate pcs and cranberries.
- Cover baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop dough by heaping Tbsp. (about 1/4 c.) onto sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
- Press top of each cookie lightly with your finger to spread slightly. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 17 min. Let cold for 1 minute then transfer to racks to cold completely.
- Note: I found parchment paper unnecessary. A greased cookie sheet works just as well.
