Is it just me, or does Fall make you want to break out the cranberries and bake up a storm? This recipe started out as my mom’s soft oatmeal cookies (which are oh-so-yummy). Her recipe calls for raisins (which I usually swap out for chocolate chips). But I spied the bag of Craisins in the pantry. It was meant to be.
This recipe doubles well and freezes well (after baking). The cookies also taste great straight from the freezer. Not that I would know. Oh. Where did those cookie crumbs on my keyboard come from?
Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups flour – I used white whole wheat.
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups oats – I used old fashioned, but you can use quick cook too.
3/4 cup butter – I doubled the batch & used half butter and half coconut oil.
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup Craisins
Directions:
- Cream the butter/coconut oil and sugars.
- Mix in the egg, vanilla, and milk.
- Mix dry ingredients – except Craisins – in separate bowl.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix until combined.
- Gently stir in Craisins.
- Drop by tablespoons onto a sprayed or parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes.

Yum! I love cranberry anything this time of year!
Cranberries (Craisins) + oatmeal cookies = Oh you’re gonna love it. 😉
Would the cinnamon taste off with white chocolate chips and cranberries in the cookies?
I had another friend mention putting white chocolate chips in them too! I think they would be delicious. I’ve made these with regular semi-sweet chocolate chips (minus the cranberries) before, and they were wonderful.
I made these today but spread them into a pan as bars and added a bit of nutmeg, and then very thinly frosted with nutella…. YUMM!MM!M!!!!!!
Oh my goodness! That sounds wonderful. Glad you enjoyed them!
Had wonderful cranberry orange oatmeal cookies, think I could substitute all or part of the milk with orange juice ?
My only concern would be that it might thin the batter. So maybe try backing off the amount just a little bit? Cranberry orange cookies sound wonderful!
