Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

  When the hubby deployed last year, I sent a care package containing a variety of instant fruit oatmeal packs, among many other things.  This package led to the following request: 'Hey Shell, do you think you could find a recipe for oatmeal blueberry cookies next time?'

No prob babe. 

 I found this recipe and the rest is history.  During the holidays, these chewy oatmeal cookies were a staple on our counter-top.  They never last more than a day because they're so good!  I've changed-up the recipe with dried cranberries or cherries.  I think the dried cranberries are my favorite.  These cookies are warm (due to the cinnamon) and deliciously chewy (from the oatmeal and honey combo).  Enjoy!

Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

Ingredients:

  1 cup flour

  ½ teaspoon baking soda

  ½ teaspoon salt

  ½ teaspoon cinnamon

  1 ½ cups rolled oats

  ½ cup butter, softened

  ½ cup white sugar

  ½ cup brown sugar

  1 large egg

  2 tablespoons honey

  ½ cup of dried cranberries or blueberries 

Directions:

Mix dry ingredients together and set aside. Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and honey, mix well. Stir in dry ingredients. Stir in dried cranberries.  Drop by rounded teaspoons on parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for about 8-10 minutes, until golden on the edges and just set. Cook them too long and they will be hard and they are better chewy. Cool on racks, store airtight.
