For the love of cranberries

My love story with cranberries was love at first sight. Unfortunately I didn't even know of the existence of this delicious round little things until I moved to the US. Apparently some countries in Europe have them, but Spain didn't until pretty much a year ago and they definitely don't have the fresh stuff.  (did i say they? i guess i'm an adopted american now).

Anyway, as soon as I tried them... I fell in love. Needless to say, cranberry sauce is one of my favourite Thanksgiving dishes. I could just eat tablespoons of it. Plain tart yummy cranberry.

The dried sweetened ones go perfect in my salads and... combined with some oatmeal... a little healthier breakfast cookies!

Fast, easy, delicious cookies!

3/4 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 stick of butter

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats

1 cup dried sweetened cranberries

Preheat oven to 350 F

Cream butter and sugar in a bowl until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well. Stir in the baking powder and flour. Don't overmix. Fold in the oats and cranberries. It will look like there's no way in hell you're gonna get all those cranberries incorporated in the dough, but don't worry, they will stick to the cookies. Drop the dough by 2 tablespoonfuls in a cookie sheet. Flatten them as they won't get flat through baking. Bake for 10 min or until slightly brown on the bottom.

They are so easy and yummy you'll be making them over and over.
