Modifications to Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies (mother-in-law's recipe)

I cut down the sugar again to 1/4 cup which makes the cookies a little more crumbly. I think that is about as low as the sugar can go in a cookies recipe and still taste good. It also requires one to put less walnuts/cranberries and to press the cookie dough together to keep in one piece.

2 stick butter, left on the counter 'till soft

1/4 cup rapadura

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups white flour (whole wheat pastry flour would work too)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 rounded teaspoon cinnamon 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

3 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup walnuts

Oven 350

Directions:

Beat together butter and sugars until creamy

Add eggs and vanilla; beat well

Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well

Stir in oats and cranberries; mix well

Take a spoonful of dough and mash together a place on to an Ungreased cookie sheet

Bake in 350 oven, 10 minutes.

Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet.
