2 eggs

Mix in vanilla,orange and almond extracts, then beat in the eggs.

Mix in cranberries and nuts by hand.
Divide dough in half.
Form two logs (12x2 inches) on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Dough may be sticky- wet hands with cool water to handle.
Bake for 35 min,til logs are light brown.
