NOTES:

* Moist cookies with cranberries, apples and cinnamon -- Many years ago one of my brothers complained to me that he didn't like cookies much, that they were always too dry and pasty. I came up with this recipe for him. He still doesn't like cookies, but the recipe has made its way to various other people to become a favorite.

* Don't store these in a cookie jar, they will get too mushy.
