Wannabe TJ's Cookies

When you eat one bite of a cookie and then dream about it for three nights in a row its time to take action!
So, while this is not quite up to the level of the DREAMY TRADER JOE'S COOKIE, it almost fills the void.

Kristin's Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs, well beaten (like naughty children)
1 T. vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1/2 T. cinnamon
3 cups oats, not instant
1 cup dried cranberries (I like to soften the cranberries in warm water for 10-15 minutes, then drain)

Cream shortening and sugars, add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Sift flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Add to wet ingredients and mix well. Add cranberries. Add oats last.

Use cookie scoop or rounded tablespoonfulls of to greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350* for 10 minutes. If you want to bake 2 sheets at a time, bake for 13 minutes and rotate sheets halfway through baking. Cool completely on wire rack. (no, not your own rack, you might get burned)

Sorry, no picture yet...I'll post one later this week.
