-0800  From the Seattle Times food section, makes about 4 dozen.  Place
cranberries and 1/4 cup water in a bowl, cover and microwave at  100
percent power for 2 minutes.  Let stand for 1 minute, then drain  and
cool. (Do not use fresh or frozen cranberries.)  With an electric
mixer, beat shortening, brown and granulated sugars,  eggs, water, and
vanilla together until creamy in a large bowl.  Place flour, salt and
soda in a medium bowl and stir with a wire  whisk to combine well.  Add
to creamed mixture and blend well.  Stir in the oatmeal, chocolate
pieces and cranberries.  Cover baking sheets with parchment paper.
Drop dough by heaping  tablespoons (about 1/4 cup) onto sheets, leaving
2 inches between  cookies. Press top of each cookie lightly with your
finger to spread  slightly. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for
about 17 minutes.  Let cool for 1 minute then transfer to racks to cool
completely.  Note:  I found parchment paper unnecessary.  A greased
cookie sheet  works just as well.  REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES  /COOKIES
