This is definitely my boyfriend's FAVORITE cookie recipe now! The cranberries REALLY make the oatmeal cookie amazing :) The only difference probably is that I didn't "smoosh" mine down as much, so they were slightly thicker. I also found that 12 minutes was the magic baking number when it came to baking time. :)
Long story short...I love an all natural cranberry orange instant oatmeal from target. So I zested an orange and used the juice to soak the cranberries before I began step 1. I then followed the recipe (upping the salt and cinnamon to 1 teaspoon and using dark brown sugar). Before adding the cranberries I drained them well then added them with the zest.
They came out amazing!!! A great rich flavor with surprising tart berries and rich warm winter scents. Perfect. Perfect Perfect.
the addition of some orange zest would be wonderful as well!
This cookie is very good. It has become a family favourite. :)
To make these cookies absolutely FABULOUS add Coconut and Walnuts to them. They do that at a local bakery and they call them "Harvest Cookies". Not sure why. I've also added Macadamia Nuts or Pecans instead of Walnuts. Am going to try adding peanuts and considering white chocolate chips but, DO NOT OMIT the Coconut! You won't regret it!
I believe that I commented last October about these cookies and convection
timg and temps. Today I want to report that I found a 2 inch sized
cookie is too small for this type of cookie....3 or better makes a better
sized cookie and I use a larger icecream scoop for this ty pe of cookie. I
use 5 different sizes of ice cream scoops.. Peanut Brittle Mykele
I made a comment last October I believe about the convection oven temps
and timing. When I did make them I found that a 2 inch cookie is not as big
as I usually made....three inchers at least. I will be using my larger ice
cream scoop from now on for this recipe....I have 5 sizes for cookies
and sooo convenient. Peanut brittle Mykele
These cookies are wonderful especially with the added cranberries, next time I will try adding some walnuts. Yum! Is there any nutritional information on these cookies, I just joined weight watchers and I can't eal anymore of them until I know so I need the information? Thanks
Carina 001, Since your post was in 2009, you probably won't see this but
I will share convection oven rules with others who are confused.
The basic rule is to set the oven temperature 25 degrees lower than
a regular oven (except if you live over 5,000 feet where you stay
at the given temperature) Also the baking time is less.I check my
cookies, etc. frequently after the first ten minutes or so.
Rock on! I love reading all the constructive feedbacks before starting a recipe, so I ended up following a few people's idea: ( ) White Chocolate, (-) a bit of cranberries, and (-) to 1 tsp dough when put on cookie sheet. They turned out just as one would expect: Crispy on the sides, and chewey in the middle. Can't wait to make another batch next time!
These cookies are a nice break from a regular oatmeal, or choco-chip oatmeal. In addition to the dried cranberries, I've thrown in some white chocolate chips and walnuts, too. Terrific!
I made this recipe with cranberries, coconut and walnut. They were great! I used a few extra tablespoons of milk (4 or so) so the cookies were chewier. The cookies were a hit at the office xmas party.
Made these last night. They are pretty good but I feel like they could be improved some the next time around. These just didn't have a whole lot of flavor, and I felt like there was too much oats and not enough cranberries. I think adding white chocolate chips would be a great idea. I also didn't measure exactly two tbsp. for each cookies so I ended up getting smaller cookies and more of them - I also had to shorten the baking time because the first batch came out too brown.
I made these this morning and they're delicious! I made my first batch according to the directions - 2 tablespoons of dough baked for 16 minutes. However, I like smaller cookies, so I made the remaining cookies with 1 tablespoon of dough baked for 9 to 10 minutes. Next time I make these, I'm going to add golden raisins in the dough and chopped pecans on top.
I added white chocolate chips to the dough also-- the red
A basic recipe that we have adjusted to personal taste by adding candied fruit/holiday cherries/apricots/dates -- your favorite in place of the canberries. Travel well --a favorite of the troops!!LadyAquilla

I made these with dried cherries they came out great.
I just made these using the dried cranberries and small size raisins they came out very good, and went fast.
carina, i have an electric mixer now, but growing up i used a wooden spoon and lots of upper body strength. you can do it. just stir til light and fluffy with a spoon. read your owner's manual for your convection oven. look for a similar cookie recipe if it includes recipes. sometimes convection ovens require less time. you don't want to burn them. good luck!
You can use your regular mixer if you do not have one with a paddle. I have and my cookies come out great.
Sounds like a great cookie! I would like to bake it, but I don't have an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and am wondering how otherwise I can deal with that part of the preparation process!?
I am not a great baker either, and only have a Microwave/Convection oven with baking capabilities but would really like to make this cookies. If anyone has tried making them with such an "oven", could you please give me some suggestions?
Thank you!
Crispy and healthful. We are taking these for snacks on the first day of school!
