Dad's Cranberry Chocolate Cookie Mix

This is a cookie that we developed years ago, and then it got lost in the file.  Big mistake. It's a wonderful cookie.  

Cranberries and chocolate are made for each other. Combine them in a soft, chewy oat cookie, and you have a splendid cookie. These are fully loaded cookies--lots of fruit and lots of chocolate.

What to know about these cookies

• Why do you love this cookie so? I love cranberries and chocolate together, and there's chocolate and cranberry in every bite. And I love soft, chewy oat cookies.
• What else can you tell me? We were generous with the oats, so that's what makes it chewy. Then we added caramel. That was a nice touch  
• Is it a big mix?  Over a pound.  It makes two dozen nice-sized cookies.
• Is it easy to make? Yes. It's a drop cookie. You add only butter and eggs.
  
• Can I freeze the dough? Yes. It's not our largest mix, 17 ounces, but you could make two 12-cookie batches, bake one batch and freeze the rest of the dough balls for another day.

We developed these in our test kitchen.  Then we served them in our store and folks went crazy over them. I suspect they got lost in the covid chaos.

Try these cookies and see how good they really are.
