OATMEAL COOKIES WITH RAISINS AND CRANBERRIES



Oatmeal Cookies With Raisins and Cranberries image

I adapted this recipe for my husband who adores oatmeal cookies. I added dried cranberries and chopped nuts to make them a little healthier. I used a scoop to make them today and I ended up with 43 cookies instead of 48. When I used a tablespoon, I ended up with 48 cookies.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Dried cranberries will not work as well in this recipe.
  • Soak the raisins in hot water for 10 minutes before adding them to the dough. This will help to plump them up and make them softer.
  • Use old-fashioned oats. Quick oats will not work as well in this recipe.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges and the centers are set. If you overbake the cookies, they will be dry.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
