DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING COOKIES

Bake up some cookies with your extra cranberry sauce and pumpkin. I’ve used jellied and whole-berry cranberry sauce, and the pumpkin can be canned or cooked.

PREP: 25 MIN. + CHILLING BAKE: 15 MIN./BATCH MAKES: ABOUT 6 DOZEN

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

³/₄ cup canned pumpkin pie filling 1/2 cup whole-berry

cranberry sauce

1 large egg

2 tsp. vanilla extract

21/2 cups all-purpose flour

11/2 cups quick-cooking oats

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/₄ tsp. ground cloves 1 cup white baking chips

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in pie filling, cranberry sauce, egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cloves; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in chips. Refrigerate, covered, until firm, about 2 hours.

2. Preheat oven to 350°. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake until edges are golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Cool on pans for 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
