 ¾ cup All-purpose flour
 1 tsp Vanilla extract
 1 tsp Baking powder
 1 pinch Salt
 1 cup Cranberry sauce
 ⅓ cup Pecans, finely crushed

In a large bowl, cream 3/4 cup of butter with 3/4 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or a stand mixer.

3

Add 1 and 1/2 cups of rolled oats, flour, vanilla, baking powder, and salt to the mixture. Continue to blend until fully combined. The mixture should resemble crumbs.
