Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

How To Make cran-nut oatmeal cookies

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla.
  • Step 3
    In a medium-size bowl, combine flour, oats, soda, salt and cinnamon. Slowly add the flour mixture to the creamed butter, mixing until flour is well incorporated.
  • Step 4
    Fold in cranberries and nuts. TIP: popping bowl into refrigerator for 1/2 hour or so will prevent the cookies from spreading too much!
  • Step 5
    With a medium cookie scoop, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring cookies to a cooling rack.
