Cranberry Nut Oatmeal Cookies
Look at that temptation! Just feast your eyes on this stunning creation ready to be baked! Are you drooling yet?
Now, on to the important stuff! Here’s what you’ll need to create these magnificent morsels:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, if you’re feeling nutty!)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. We want these cookies to have a smooth landing, right?
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy, resembling clouds! Or close enough.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract, because we all know that’s the secret to cookie happiness!
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add it to the butter mixture. It might look stubborn, but just keep blending until it’s well combined.
- Time to get those oats in there! Fold in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and chopped nuts until everything is combined and looking scrumptious!
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave some space between them because they’ll spread, and we want them nice and cozy, not squished!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they’re golden brown around the edges. Your kitchen will smell like a little slice of heaven!
- Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. But let’s be honest, who waits that long? Grab one while it’s still warm!
Now that you’ve crafted these Cranberry Nut Oatmeal Cookies, it’s time to indulge. Whether you’re sharing with friends or hoarding them all to yourself (no judgment here!), enjoy each bite of your delicious handiwork. Happy baking!
