Grape Nuts Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies                       Grape Nuts Box

1 ½ cups all purpose flour                                           1 tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. salt                                                                   

1 ½ cups margarine (I used 1 cup butter and ½ cup butter flavored Crisco so they are crisp)

2/3 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)                            2/3 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg                                                                   1 tsp. vanilla

2 cups Post Grape-Nuts cereal                         2 cups quick-cooking oats

1 cup dried cranberries.

Preheat over to 375 degrees. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.  Beat butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed to soften.  Gradually add sugars, beating until light and fluffy.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  Gradually add flour mixture, beating well after each addition.  Stir in cereal, oats and cranberries.  Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned.  Cool 1 minute, remove from cookie sheets and cool completely.
