- 1/2 cup White Sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions
These cranberry almond oatmeal cookies are an adaptation of a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe from my childhood. It’s pretty much the best.
Once upon a time, I ran out of chocolate chips, and after a few substitutions, these were the delicious result. If you happen to be out of cranberries and almonds, feel free to substitute a bag of chocolate chips.
This recipe makes approximately 3 dozen cookies. Both the dough and the baked cookies are freezer-friendly.
