Good afternoon! I wanted to share with you this recipe for Oatmeal, Dark Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies. I made these for the potluck graduation party yesterday and everyone seemed to really enjoy them!

I came up with this recipe on my own and I think they turned out pretty good!

Dark Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In medium bowl beat the butter and brown sugar . Beat in the brown sugar and then the egg. Add applesauce, followed by the vanilla. Gently stir in the flour mixture, the oats and the rest of the ingredients.
