CRANBERRY-NUT OATMEAL COOKIES
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

- Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges begin to brown, 15 to 17 minutes total. Let cool on baking sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks; cool completely.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Measure Accurately: Be precise when measuring your ingredients. Using the correct amounts will ensure that your cookies turn out perfectly.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cookie. Make sure to cream the butter and sugar until it is pale and fluffy.
- Add the Eggs One at a Time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the batter 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 in the oven.
- Bake the Cookies Until They Are Just Set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown.
- Let the Cookies Cool Completely Before Storing: This will help them to keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Martha Stewart's Oatmeal Cranberry Classic Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With their chewy texture, sweet and tart flavor, and festive appearance, these cookies are perfect for any occasion. Follow these tips to ensure that your cookies turn out perfectly every time. Enjoy!
