CRANBERRY-NUT OATMEAL COOKIES



Cranberry-Nut Oatmeal Cookies image

I made a few changes to a recipe on the back of a canister of oats. Now this is the only one I use. I often use hazelnuts in place of the pecans, and they are just as good. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. You can make these larger or smaller; simply adjust the baking time. Keep loosely covered, and they will maintain their chewiness for several days, if they last that long.

Provided by Neli Howard | Delicious Meets Healthy

Categories     Cookies

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature, softened)
1 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups rolled oats
1 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup dry cranberries
½ cup chopped walnuts
Optional: ⅓ cup white chocolate chips (for drizzle)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the softened butter with brown sugar until very creamy. This is an essential step for the cookies to remain soft; you'll need about 5 minutes to achieve the desired texture. Then add one egg at a time and whisk well after each addition. At last, add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  • In another bowl, combine oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir well to combine.
  • Fold in cranberries and chopped walnuts and stir until combined.
  • Cover the dough and refrigerate it for one hour. (If you're going to leave it for more than one hour, it is good to pre-scoop the cookies to have them ready to bake).
  • When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the dough using a 1.5 tbsp ice cream scoop and lightly flatten the top of each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set and slightly brown on the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to the cooling rack, or they might break.
  • Optional: drizzle your cookies with melted white chocolate.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.

Conclusion:

These healthy oatmeal cranberry cookies are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. They are made with whole grain oats, Grape Nuts cereal, dried cranberries, and sweetened with honey.
