Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies at Miz Helen's Country Cottage
Our Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies will bring back memories of Grandma's Cookie Jar and afterschool treats with the kids, that is only some of the memories these cookies bring back for me. This cookie recipe is a chewy cookie with the flavors of the oats and cranberry combination. Cookie making can be a fun family activity with the reward just a few minutes away, and they are out of the oven, on a cooling rack and ready to eat.

1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon molasses
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
dash salt
3 cups whole rolled oats
1 cup dried fruit (I used dried cranberries for this recipe)
1 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans, chopped for this recipe)
Directions
In a electric mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time and mix at least one minute.
Add the vanilla and molasses continue to mix until completely combined.
In a mixing pitcher or bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients a little at a time and mix on low until it is completely combined.
Beat in the oats, dried fruit and nuts, and continue to mix until combined. This is a very thick dough.
Cover the mixing bowl and place in the refrigerator until chilled, allow the cookies to be chilled at least one hour.
Scoop the cookie balls on to a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes until lightly browned on the edge.
Remove from the oven and place the cookies on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. (We all know no one can really do that, enjoy your cookie)!

  1. I'm loving your pretty teatime, Miz Helen! Your teacup, pretty pink plate, and your napkin look lovely together. Oh my, those cookies, how I'd love one. Oatmeal are my favorites!!! I used to have a Little Women book much like yours, but don't know what happened to it. Yours is a treasure!
