DRIED CRANBERRY-WALNUT OATMEAL COOKIES



Dried Cranberry-Walnut Oatmeal Cookies image

This is the best cranberry oatmeal cookie I've ever tasted. Slightly crisp on the outside, but oh so chewy on the inside. I can't believe it hasn't been posted yet! It's from the Crisco site. Note: If you use old-fashioned oats, the cookies will come out crisper and less moist; If you use quick oats, the cookies will be chewier and more moist. Also, bake until cookies are *just* set, where the center of the cookie still looks a little wet.

HEALTHY WALNUT (OR CHOCOLATE) CRANBERRY OATMEAL CHEWY COOKIES



Healthy Walnut (Or Chocolate) Cranberry Oatmeal Chewy Cookies image

These are such unique cookies! These cookies become very thin when they cook, and the addition of brown rice syrup (better for you then sugar... has complex carbs to keep you fuller longer) makes the cookie very chewy and almost slightly sticky. You have never tasted anything like it!

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup margarine
1 tablespoon smooth applesauce
2/3 cup brown rice syrup
2 egg whites
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats, quick cooking
3 -4 tablespoons chopped walnuts or 3 -4 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips
3 -3 1/2 tablespoons craisins (or raisins)

Steps:

  • In a dry saucepan on medium, toast the walnuts (if using) and oats together until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat margarine(at room temp) and applesauce with brown sugar until light and fluffy (with electric beaters).
  • add egg whites, brown rice syrup, and vanilla and beat until smooth, about a minute.
  • In a smaller bowl, combine flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • Mix into creamed mixture. Stir in oats, walnuts (or chocolate chips), and craisins.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes.
  • Drop dough on parchment paper-covered cookie sheet (dont flatten tops).
  • Bake at 330° F 12-15 minutes or until spread out and very lightly browned. They will be flat and the tops will have small bubble pockets, and though they may look soft and not done, they are! Allow cookies to cool slightly then place cookies on cooling rack. Use a very good spatchula or else they will be tricky to get off the pan without breaking!
  • Cookies will be quite delicate and slightly sticky (especially when hot), so when you store them, be sure their edges arn't touching eachother and use wax paper to line between the layers. ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries: Fresh cranberries are available in the fall and winter months, while frozen cranberries are available year-round. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
  • Chop the walnuts finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the oatmeal.
  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats: These oats have a chewier texture than quick oats or instant oats.
  • Add a pinch of salt: This will help to balance the sweetness of the cranberries and walnuts.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include milk, yogurt, honey, maple syrup, and fresh fruit.
