This is a continuation of my plan to make my Tri coach like me again (see the Honey Nut Spinz entry). In addition to the Honey Nut Spinz, I made these cookies, adapted from Better Homes and Gardens Loaded Oatmeal Cookies.
These are really delicious, with sweet dried berries in them, flax and bran. They're also nice and crisp, which I really like in my cookies. Don't let the long ingredient list deter you - pretty much everything should be pantry staples.

2. Cream together first 8 ingredients (those above the dashed line). Then mix in flour, oats, bran and flax gradually. Stir in chocolate and dried berries.
