These are amazing! I was super nervous about the ratio of oatmeal and flour to wet ingredients, but they were so great! I was also scared about the recipe not having eggs, which turned out to not be a problem. I did also added: a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cooking wet ingredients, a smidge more shortening, replumped my fried cranberries in the microwave, and replaced the 1/3 cup of flour with flax meal. It worked out great, because, flax meal seems to be a greedier dry ingredient when it comes to soaking up liquids. I love these cookies! So great! New favorite, thank you for sharing this recipe!!
