Oatmeal Cookies- Loaded

By cweeks

And cranberries…and walnuts! Sometimes even peanuts. Heck, you could pretty much load whatever you want in these cookies. But if it’s raisins, don’t tell me about it.

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 stick butter, softened
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup toasted chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries

Preparation

Step 1

makes about 3 dozen cookies

Preheat the oven to 375.

In a medium sized bowl, stir together the oats, flour, salt, baking
soda, cinnamon, walnuts, cranberries and chocolate chips. Set aside.

Cream together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add
the egg and vanilla and continue to beat until smooth. Add the dry
ingredients and beat only until combined.Scoop out whopping tablespoons of dough on a lined baking sheet. Flatten a little with your fingers (works best if your fingers are wet so the dough won’t stick as much). Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
