Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

unsalted butter

sugar

brown sugar

eggs

vanilla extract

flour

salt

baking soda

cinnamon

nutmeg

cardamon

oats

dried cranberries (or other dried fruit)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients. Add to butter mixture and stir until well blended. Add dried cranberries. Drop by teaspoonful onto parchment covered baking sheet. Bake about 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool.

Made the cookies exactly as written.  They were delicious... not too sweet and nice and chewy.  I did make them a little bigger because I had a very small ice cream scoop that is just easier.  Will definitely make them again.

I upped the cranberries a bit and added chopped walnuts. They were devoured and multiple requests to make more. Great cookies!!<br /><br /><br />

How easy AND excellent!  Only changed one thing due to a reader suggestion:  increased cranberries to 1.5 C. to enhance moistness.  <div>Recipe as is yielded nearly  4 dozen, guess I was a little heavy handed in sizing!  What I loved about this is that there was no need to separate the cookies as far apart on the baking sheet as many recipes call for, as they don't spread out much at all!  I was able to bake 24 or more per sheet pan.</div><div>Oh, I forgot--I also cut the sugars down to 1/2C each.  I used 'Craisins" dried cranberries.    I used regular oatmeal, not instant.</div><div>I made these as my neighbor gifts for Xmas and everyone loved them.  My husband loved them so much he ate about ten over two days.  (They are small!)  Make these, you won't be sorry and they really are easy!  </div>

The best cookies I’ve had in a long time!! I made this exactly as the recipe is written &amp; they are fantastic! These cookies will be added to my most favorite cookies of all time!!

I followed the recipe exactly.<br />Good cookie. Crispy edges and chewy on the inside. Personally, I prefer a little less oatmeal.

I broke my own rule of cooking.  “ Always make the recipe as written the first time.” How can you fairly review a recipe that wasn’t followed?!  I saw a couple of notes about too much sugar. Cut the granulated by 1/4 cup. Ground the oatmeal.  It did taste too “ floury”.  I did love the oatmeal addition but is there something I should do differently if I grind the oatmeal?  I am going to make these with my niece next week &amp; I want them to be perfect.  If I cut back sugar, will add white chocolate chips.  I think they lacked sweetness with less sugar. And seriously! Who makes a cookie using a teaspoon??

Great oatmeal cookie. .ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO ADD THE CRANBERRIES!  I can't taste them, only the cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom.  

I’ve made this recipe for the last two Christmas’s now. I skip the cardamom and add dark chocolate chunks. So yummy!
