This oatmeal cranberry cookie recipe is so simple that you don’t even need a mixer—you can easily mix everything by hand with a spoon. While adding dried cranberries gives these homemade cookies a nice tart flavor, you are welcome to substitute them with any dried fruit you prefer.

I also have a flourless oatmeal cookie recipe you might enjoy, but I have a feeling these cranberry ones will quickly become your favorite.

Ingredients

Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

• 120 gr butter
• 1 large egg
• 100 gr brown sugar
• 150 gr flour
• 80 gr oatmeal
• 3 gr baking powder
• a pinch of salt
• 40 gr dried cranberries
• 40 gr nuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Start by beating the room-temperature butter with the sugar at high speed until creamy.
2. Pour the egg into the butter mixture and continue beating until fully incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the oatmeal.
4. Add the dry ingredient mixture, chopped nuts, and cranberries to the wet butter mixture. Use a spatula to mix everything until smooth.
5. Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for about 3 hours.
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the dough into balls (approximately 70g each) and arrange the oatmeal cranberry cookies on the baking sheet, making sure to leave a little space between them.
7. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 C for about 18 to 20 minutes.

Allow the cookies to cool down at room temperature before serving.
