Ingredients




1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 cups oats
1 cup unsalted butter (slightly softened)
1 cup packed light brown sugar (or brown Splenda)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (or white Splenda)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
 cups dried cranberries
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 350 F. 2 In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; stir in the oats, and set aside. 3 With an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.  Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then scrape the sides of the bowl. 4 Add the honey and vanilla and beat until blended.  Add the flour mixture in two additions, beating until well combined. 5 Stir in the cranberries and walnuts. 6 Drop the dough by heaped teaspoons about 1 inch apart onto cookie sheets. 7 Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the centers of the cookies are soft and no longer look wet. 8 Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

About


My husband loves cranberry oatmeal cookies, and this is a variation of a recipe that I usually use - this one has a few more ingredients in and it's even tastier.

These remind me of my favorite pie- Nantucket Cranberry Walnut. My family will be so happy to find these in their cookie gift boxes this year! Thanks!
