Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies

Print Recipe

Warm, chewy, and lightly spiced, these cookies balance sweet dried cranberries with toasty walnuts and hearty oats.

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) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk briefly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in dried cranberries and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look set.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For softer cookies, remove them from the oven when slightly underbaked; they will set as they cool.
