Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at at time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
- Combine the remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then gradually add to creamed mixture. Fold in the cranberries.
- Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto un-greased baking sheets. Flatten lightly with your fingers.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. After cooling a couple of minutes, move to wire rack to cool. Note: these cookies may look slightly soft when done, they will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- add nuts ~ these cookies beg for a cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.
- use dried cherries or other chopped dried fruit ~ raisins, currants, or even chopped dates would work equally well.
