The original recipe for these delightful cookies called for raisins. Since we aren’t raisin fans, I added dried cranberries instead. The results? Incredible! –Theresa Smith of Rome, Georgia
Ingredients:
3/4 cup reduced-fat butter, softened
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup 2% milk
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1-1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 cup chopped peeled tart apple
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the oats, cranberries, apple and walnuts.
