Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies

These cozy cookies combine chewy oats, sweet tart cranberries, and toasty walnuts for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar in a separate large bowl until fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  5. Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
  8. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

For chewier cookies, press the dough into larger mounds and bake closer to 10 minutes. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
