Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cinnamon-flavored applesauce
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

4 (1 3/13 ounce) packages instant apple-cinnamon oatmeal
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cup whole wheat flour

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
