Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies
Check out this beautiful cookie that we’re about to whip up.
Alright, to make these delightful cookies, you’re gonna need the following 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 walnuts
Now that we’ve got our ingredients, let’s jump into the instructions!
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and hot when the cookies are ready to go in.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Make sure to also stir in that vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Now fold in those rolled oats, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts. This is where the magic happens, y’all!
- Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form cookie dough balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Don’t worry if they seem a bit soft; they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Once outta the oven, let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
