Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and cream with an electric hand-held mixer until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and honey and beat well.

Add the flour, oats, and salt, stirring with a wooden spoon to combine.
Add the chopped nuts and cranberries, and mix until thoroughly combined. If the mixture is too stiff, add a little milk until it becomes pliable.

Take walnut sized pieces and roll them into balls between your palms. Place on 2 or 3 baking sheets lined with parchment and flatten slightly, spacing them well apart on the pan.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown (you may need to do this in batches)
Leave ont he pan to cool, then transfer to a wire rack. These will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
