CRANBERRY-NUT OATMEAL COOKIES



Cranberry-Nut Oatmeal Cookies image

I made a few changes to a recipe on the back of a canister of oats. Now this is the only one I use. I often use hazelnuts in place of the pecans, and they are just as good. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. You can make these larger or smaller; simply adjust the baking time. Keep loosely covered, and they will maintain their chewiness for several days, if they last that long.

NO BAKE CRANBERRY NUT COOKIES



No Bake Cranberry Nut Cookies image

These are simply amazing, easy, look fancy, are PACKED with fiber and there's no baking needed! Just a few minutes of stove-top prep and you�re on your way to a fabulous cookie. Any type of nuts and fruit will work in this recipe, so have fun using whatever is in your pantry - I also always throw in a tablespoon of flax seed for good measure! Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal is a super high fiber cereal with flakes and clusters, so feel free to sub out any similar cereal you like (Honey Bunches of Oats would be perfect - I have even just done a combo of All Bran and Good Friends with great results). From eatbetteramerica. UPDATE: This morning I made just a half the recipe and simply pressed the mixture into a parchment lined 8x8 pan and it worked perfectly - just cut them into squares with a pizza cutter (dipping in water prior to each cut) after 30 minutes.

Time 25m

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal
1 cup chopped dried cranberries (I use dried tart cherries)
1/2 cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
1/3 cup cashew pieces
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup (I used a lite version with great results)
1/4 cup peanut butter (I use crunchy, but the original recipe calls for creamy)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In large bowl, mix cereal, cranberries, sunflower nuts and cashews.
  • In 2-quart saucepan, mix brown sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
  • Pour syrup over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Drop mixture by scant 1/4 cupfuls onto waxed paper. NOTE: I actually coated my 1/4 cup measuring cup with cooking spray and pressed the mixture into the cup making perfect little cookies with ease.
  • Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart and juicy flavor that is perfect for these cookies. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the nuts finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the cookies. You can use walnuts, pecans, or almonds. If you are allergic to nuts, you can omit them from the recipe.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping the cookies. This will help the cookies to hold their shape better. You can chill the cookie dough for up to 24 hours.
  • Shape the cookies into 1-inch balls. Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to measure out the cookie dough. Roll the dough into balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on the cookies so that they don't overcook. Overcooked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These no-bake cranberry nut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for holiday parties or for a quick snack. The cookies are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. You can add different types of nuts, dried fruit, or spices. Get creative and have fun!
