Oatmeal Shortbread image

This recipe came from a handout from a butter company. I like it because of the addition of oatmeal (I feel "healthy" eating it..lol). Feel free to substitute the dried cranberries with any other dried fruit (cherries are good). Sometimes, I even add 1/4 cup chopped pecans.
