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.

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1 ½ cups light brown sugar

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place unsalted butter and light brown sugar into the work bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium-slow speed until very fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract, followed by eggs, one at a time. Reduce mixer speed to lowest speed and leave running.

OATMEAL - FLAX SEED MEAL COOKIES



Oatmeal - Flax Seed Meal Cookies image

I have always enjoyed a hearty cookie that has a stout texture with more taste. I blended several recipes to come up with this. I have never left a party without one or more requests for this recipe. I am constantly trying new variations, but the original still stands as BEST! These cookies freeze well and of course they are great in a pinch defrosted in the microwave on half power.

Time 27m

Yield 4-5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups packed brown sugar

1 3/4 cups flour (I use unbleached)

3 cups oatmeal (can use either quick or old fashioned)
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1 (8 ounce) bag toffee pieces (Heath bits is the only kind we have here)
1 cup generous rough chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Mix first five ingredients well. Add flour and baking soda and blend well. Add oats and flax seed meal and mix until well blended. Mix in toffee chips and pecans.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats: They provide a chewier texture than quick oats or steel-cut oats.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The centers will still be soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This helps them keep their shape and prevents them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal cranberry flaxseed cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their chewy texture, sweet and tart flavor, and healthy ingredients, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
