Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies.....


I purchased another three pound bag of cranberries from the local bog and I'm working my way through them slowly but surely. To make these delicious cookies I took some of  the ingredients from one recipe and then a little more from another.  I'm thrilled they came out so well. They turned out chewy and delicious.  Here's the recipe.  Enjoy!
Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp.vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp. orange zest
  • 2 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs, one at a time.  Mix in the vanilla.  Combine flour, baking soda and salt, stir in oats, raisins, cranberries, orange zest,walnuts and white chocolate chips.

Drop by heaping teaspoons two inches apart on a baking sheet.  Bake for 15 to 17 minutes.  Cool the cookies on a wire rack.

  17. HI there, Thank you so much for sharing this great recipe-so often many recipes include flour and since I am gluten free it takes a lot for me to make them but I can't wait to try these. Have a wonderful afternoon.

  22. It is not easy to get fresh cranberries here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We can get the frozen ones. I think I got to settle with that to make these beautiful cookies:D

  23. Oh my favorite, I love cranberries and I love them in oatmeal cookies.
    Now figure out a recipe so they are calorie free.
    I can eat 10 at a time. :)
    I hope you had a lovely time.
    You know what? I wish you were my next door neighbor too.
    It would be such fun. I would love to go visit a cranberry bog. I have always wanted to see one.

  24. Hello~I've just strolled in for my first visit...I've enjoyed taking a peek at your posts. You've got so many wonderful recipes. Your blog is so beautifully inviting.
    I'm a foodie enthusiast as well.

    As fall comes to a close I look forward to winter that's fast approaching. Bringing a festive inspiration for trimming my home and filling the air with the aromas of the season.
    Baked oatmeal/Cran cookies with white chocolate...several of my faves combined for confection heaven!

    My evergreen decor is much appreciated by the cat who enjoys an occasional game of ping pong with my ornaments...


    I look forward to coming by your charming blog again.
    Come by for a visit. I'll put the kettle on... your company would be nice.

    Sweet holiday wishes,
    Sara
