1 tsp ground cinnemon
1/2 tsp salt
1 c quick oats
2 c loose granola
1 c dried cranberries

  • 7. bake 10-12 minutes or until a light golder brown. Cool 1-2 minutes on cookie sheet and then remove them to paper towels.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best texture, use old-fashioned oats for a chewy cookie and quick-cooking oats for a crispier cookie. Alternatively, a mixture of both may also be used.
  • Use high-quality cranberries to ensure the best flavor. If using dried cranberries, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before adding to the dough. This will help to plump them up and make them juicier.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape better.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them. This will help them to set and firm up.

With their chewy texture, sweet and tart flavor, and beautiful appearance, cranberry granola cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
