Servings: persons

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 cups shortening - butter flavor recommended
1/2 cup softened butter
4 tsp almond extract
2 eggs
3 cups oatmeal (measured before blending to a powder)
1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 cups dried cranberries
2 cups sliced almonds

1
Pre-heat oven to 365. Cream together shortening, butter, both sugars, and almond extract. Add eggs and smooth mixture. In an electric blender, blend 3 cups of oatmeal into a fine powder. Mix the powdered oatmeal, flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet, folding together in portions until fully incorporated. Mix in dried cranberries and almonds. Place the dough by thirds onto pieces of plastic wrap, shape into logs, fold plastic wrap over the dough to seal it, and roll the dough into uniform, sealed tubes. Refrigerate for up to 1 hour to harden the dough for slicing. Place 1/2inch slices on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 9-11 at 365 or until bottom of cookies appear golden. Cool for 1-3 minutes, move each cookie on the baking sheet to prevent sticking, and continue to cool 5 minutes more before stacking or serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
