Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies Recipe – Delicious & Easy

Ingredients

Servings:
24
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

9 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together rolled oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

    Mix well to evenly distribute the baking soda and salt.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars

    In another bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use an electric mixer for best results.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla

    Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture until combined.

    Make sure the egg is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    Do not overmix; stir until you see no more flour.
  6. Fold in Cranberries and Walnuts

    Gently fold in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts into the cookie dough.

    Use a spatula to avoid breaking the cranberries.
  7. Scoop and Bake

    Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

    Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
  9. Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    These cookies are best enjoyed warm.
