This is the best cranberry oatmeal cookie I've ever tasted. Slightly crisp on the outside, but oh so chewy on the inside. It's from the Crisco site. Note: If you use old-fashioned oats, the cookies will come out crisper and less moist; If you use quick oats, the cookies will be chewier and more moist. Also, bake until cookies are *just* set, where the center of the cookie still looks a little wet. Ingredients:
3/4 cup stick butter flavor crisco or 3/4 cup crisco butter flavor shortening |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar |
2 large eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 3/4 cups rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned, see notes in description) |
1 -1 1/2 cup dried cranberries |
1 -1 1/2 cup walnut pieces |
