We went to a bbq at some good friends' house last night, and I wanted to take something different. I was thinking of Snickerdoodles, but then Melissa asked me to make cookies. This is the recipe I came up with. They were a HIT!

1 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3 cups rolled oats

Add dried cranberries and almonds. Drop by teaspoonful onto parchment covered baking sheet. Bake about 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Cool on a wire wrack.
