    Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

    Soft chewy brown sugar oatmeal cookies with sweetened dried cranberries. A chewy and hearty oatmeal cookie that everyone will love!

    You know how I love a good cookie. That's basically the understatement of the year -- I am obsessed with COOKIES. Without a doubt, cookies are my favorite food in the world. But I am not going to waste my calories on mediocre cookies -- they need to be out of this world good.

    These Oatmeal Cookies with Cranberries are the perfect chewy oatmeal cookie. This isn't some dry, hockey puck oatmeal cookie. I want my oatmeal cookies to be soft and chewy every time! I can't put these oatmeal cookies down! 

    The beauty of this cranberry oatmeal cookie is that I convince myself I could eat it for breakfast. It is hearty enough with the rolled oats to feel like a sweet breakfast treat or perfect for a snack while hiking.

    What is the key to making the Best Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies? It is all about the ratios of butter, sugar, flour, and oats. It can't have too much flour and oats to be too cakey or dry. It needs to be buttery with the perfect balance of sweetness. I reach for a ratio of more brown sugar to sugar since brown sugar creates a chewier texture while sugar gives those coveted crisp edges. You need both to create the perfect balance! 

    I use rolled oats because they hold up better in these cookies than quick-cooking 5-minute oats. But you can use either one in these oatmeal cookies! I also reach for sweetened dried cranberries, like Craisins, because of their sweet chewy texture pairs well with the hearty oatmeal.

        That would be easier for you to do as this recipe doesn’t call out specific brands. Each ingredient you use will have its’ own nutritional information on the package. Add them up, divide by serving and voila!

      Absolutely love these. Came out perfect the first try. On the second try I substituted 1/2 cup of the cranberries for 1/2 cup of pecan pieces. Delicious also.

      Thank you for this amazing recipe. I swapped the vanilla extract for orange extract and added orange peel. I have a longing for a bit of holiday nostalgia, hence the small change.

      I just made these and they came out great. Based on other comments, I cut back on the cranberries (1 1/4 c.) and added 2/3 cup chopped walnuts and 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips. Using a rounded teaspoon, I got about 4 doz.

      Added a cup of chopped walnuts and baked on a stone baking pan so I added a few minutes to the time on first batch so they could get brown around the edges as recommended. Worked out perfect,

      These cookies are soft, sweet, & delicious! I made 36, however, instead of 24. Also, mine needed 3-4 minutes extra time. I will definitely make these again!

      The temperature for this recipe states 365 degrees F. How do you adjust when most stoves run temps in 25 degree increments? Did you adjust the length of cooking time? Thanks

      Thank you for this recipe, i have a question though: does this need to be mixed with a stand mixer? Because i don't have 1 and the other recipes i saw requires it. Can i cream with just a whisk? Thank you in advance!

      These are delicious! I got 48 good-sized cookies out of this recipe. I added white chocolate chips to the tops of one batch, which was also terrific. The dough is perfect; soft, chewy cookies with a crisp edge.
