NO BAKE CRANBERRY NUT COOKIES



No Bake Cranberry Nut Cookies image

These are simply amazing, easy, look fancy, are PACKED with fiber and there's no baking needed! Just a few minutes of stove-top prep and you�re on your way to a fabulous cookie. Any type of nuts and fruit will work in this recipe, so have fun using whatever is in your pantry - I also always throw in a tablespoon of flax seed for good measure! Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal is a super high fiber cereal with flakes and clusters, so feel free to sub out any similar cereal you like (Honey Bunches of Oats would be perfect - I have even just done a combo of All Bran and Good Friends with great results). From eatbetteramerica. UPDATE: This morning I made just a half the recipe and simply pressed the mixture into a parchment lined 8x8 pan and it worked perfectly - just cut them into squares with a pizza cutter (dipping in water prior to each cut) after 30 minutes.

Time 25m

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal
1 cup chopped dried cranberries (I use dried tart cherries)
1/2 cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
1/3 cup cashew pieces
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup (I used a lite version with great results)
1/4 cup peanut butter (I use crunchy, but the original recipe calls for creamy)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In large bowl, mix cereal, cranberries, sunflower nuts and cashews.
  • In 2-quart saucepan, mix brown sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
  • Pour syrup over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Drop mixture by scant 1/4 cupfuls onto waxed paper. NOTE: I actually coated my 1/4 cup measuring cup with cooking spray and pressed the mixture into the cup making perfect little cookies with ease.
  • Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

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.
