Sætre's Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

In 2009 the Norwegian cookie company called "Sætre" came with a new series of cookies - all marketed under the name "Café Bakeriet" (Café Bakery). They have been my favourites ever since, because these cookies just taste so good!!

I guess the one called "Sjokoladeterapi" (Chocolade Therapy) is a pretty good runner up, but my favourite one is the one called "Havre & Bare Bær" (Oatmeal and Berries). They are soft oatmeal cookies with raisins and cranberries.

Best of all, the recipe for the cookies is printed right on the package, so that everyone can have their own go at baking these crumptious cookies. So guess what I did today....I made my own batch of Oatmeal and Berries cookies!

Here's the recipe. Enjoy baking!
