Cranberry Apple Cookies

This is a favorite recipe I make when fresh cranberries are in season. The original recipe came from "Cranberry Festival Recipes"...a book of winning cranberry recipes from the Chatsworth Cranberry festival.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup chopped cranberries
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chopped apples (tart)

Cream butter and sugars. Beat in egg and milk. Sift together baking powder, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in butter mixture. Stir in apples and cranberries. Drop by teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes. After 1 minute transfer and cool on a wire rack.
