Time 2h35m

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/4 cups dried cranberries
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, apple pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the oats and cranberries with a wooden spoon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 2-inch balls and arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets; press with a spatula to flatten. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden but the centers are still soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Slide the cookies from the parchment onto racks to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and milk in a medium bowl. Drizzle on the cookies; let set 5 minutes.

HEALTHY WALNUT (OR CHOCOLATE) CRANBERRY OATMEAL CHEWY COOKIES



Healthy Walnut (Or Chocolate) Cranberry Oatmeal Chewy Cookies image

These are such unique cookies! These cookies become very thin when they cook, and the addition of brown rice syrup (better for you then sugar... has complex carbs to keep you fuller longer) makes the cookie very chewy and almost slightly sticky. You have never tasted anything like it!

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup margarine
1 tablespoon smooth applesauce
2/3 cup brown rice syrup
2 egg whites
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats, quick cooking
3 -4 tablespoons chopped walnuts or 3 -4 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips
3 -3 1/2 tablespoons craisins (or raisins)

Steps:

  • In a dry saucepan on medium, toast the walnuts (if using) and oats together until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat margarine(at room temp) and applesauce with brown sugar until light and fluffy (with electric beaters).
  • add egg whites, brown rice syrup, and vanilla and beat until smooth, about a minute.
  • In a smaller bowl, combine flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • Mix into creamed mixture. Stir in oats, walnuts (or chocolate chips), and craisins.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes.
  • Drop dough on parchment paper-covered cookie sheet (dont flatten tops).
  • Bake at 330° F 12-15 minutes or until spread out and very lightly browned. They will be flat and the tops will have small bubble pockets, and though they may look soft and not done, they are! Allow cookies to cool slightly then place cookies on cooling rack. Use a very good spatchula or else they will be tricky to get off the pan without breaking!
  • Cookies will be quite delicate and slightly sticky (especially when hot), so when you store them, be sure their edges arn't touching eachother and use wax paper to line between the layers. ENJOY!
