*You can use equal amounts of applesauce to replace butter. You can also use egg substitute to replace real eggs. I did and cake was great.


Preparation method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla and milk.
In a sparate bowl, combine oates, flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and stir until combined. Stir in cranberries. Divide dough in half, roll into a log about 1.5 inches in diameter. Refrigerate until firm.

Slice logs into cookies about .25 to .5-inch thick and bake on parchment-lined cookie sheets leaving 1.5 inches between cookies.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Amount will depend upon thickness of cookies.
