Cranberry Jumbles

Ok, so this is a really bad picture of these cookies, Sorry! Anyway... another new cookie. I wanted something with a little fruit, since the only other fruit type cookie I do is the raspberry jelly ones. These are healthy with craisins and whole wheat flour. It called for shortening but in my effort to go transfat free, I used butter and it worked well. I also have been using egg beaters instead of real eggs.
