Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

These oatmeal cranberry cookies are a traditional oatmeal cookie with a dried cranberry twist.

When faced with the decision of picking out the cookie of my choice from a basket with a variety of cookies in it, I always go right for the oatmeal ones.

I don’t know what comes over me.

How could I not go for the chocolate chip cookies?

Or the double chocolate ones?

Or even the really good-looking ones with macadamia nuts in it?

Nope, it’s none of those.

It’s always the oatmeal cookies.

So, in honor of oatmeal cookies, here’s a delicious recipe for oatmeal cookies with dried cranberries.

About this Recipe

These oatmeal cranberry cookies are easy to make, and the recipe is adapted from the oatmeal cookie recipe that’s on the container of Quaker Oats oatmeal.

The dried cranberries in these cookies add both a delicious tart flavor and a light chewy texture.

I especially like how the cranberries taste in combination with the oatmeal.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Uncooked oats, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and dried cranberries

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Butter:

In a large mixing bowl add softened butter.

Sugar:

To the bowl,

…add brown sugar…

…and granulated sugar.

Mix:

…and beat the ingredients with a mixer until creamy.

Eggs:

In a small bowl, add the eggs.

Then add the eggs to the mixing bowl.

TIP – It’s a good idea to add the eggs to a small bowl before adding them to the mixing bowl so a bad egg doesn’t contaminate the batter.

Vanilla Extract:

To the mixing bowl, and vanilla.

Beat until light and fluffy.

Dry Ingredients:

To the bowl, add flour…

…cinnamon…

…baking soda and salt.

…then…

…beat the ingredients on low (so that the flour doesn’t fly out of the bowl).

Oatmeal and Dried Cranberries:

To the dough, add the oats…

…and dried cranberries.

Using a large sturdy spoon or spatula, mix together.

Next,

…using a tablespoon, drop the dough on to an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake:

Bake in a preheated oven (at 350 degrees F.) until the cookies are a light golden-brown color (about 8 minutes).

For a softer cookie, remove from the oven when the middle of the cookie still looks slightly soft (about 7 minutes but the amount of time may vary depending on the oven).

Cool and Serve:

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool before serving. Then enjoy.
