Oatmeal Craisin Cookies

I went looking for a recipe using craisins (dried cranberries) since I had some left over from making my cran-apple crisp & I needed to make some cookies for church. These were really easy to make but make sure not to cook them for too long to avoid them getting too crisp.

I found this recipe on the internet. To see the original recipe, click here.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats (not instant)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries (Craisins)

Directions

Preheat Oven to 375°F.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer combine, sugar, brown sugar and butter and mix well.

Add in egg and vanilla and mix until combined.

Add in cinnamon, baking soda, salt and flour and mix well.

Fold in by hand the oatmeal, walnuts, and dried cranberries making sure that all ingredients are uniformly distributed.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 3-inches apart onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, just until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes on the cookie sheet.
