Recipe for "cranb-cookies"

NAME

     CRANB-COOKIES - Moist cookies with cranberries, apples,  and
     cinnamon
     Many years ago one of my brothers complained to me  that  he
     didn't  like cookies much, that they were always too dry and
     pasty. I came up with this recipe for him. He still  doesn't
     like  cookies,  but  the  recipe has made its way to various
     other people to become a favorite.

     60 ml     milk
     200 g     flour
     5 ml      baking powder
     5 ml      cinnamon
     2.5 ml    salt

          (4)  Stir in orange rind, apple, and cranberries.  drop
               onto baking sheets.
