Custard wheat cranberry cookies

As you all know I love to experiment with various flours and accompaniments and try different cookies. I always look for opportunities to bake different flavoured cookies especially when I want to share it with my relatives n friends. So last week, when we had a sudden plan to visit our relatives in my hometown, I tried these custard cranberry cookies and got amazing feedback from my aunt and others. These are mildly sweet like all my cookies and the cranberries add an extra zing to these. Please do try and share your feedback.
