The traditional oatmeal cookie gets a festive makeover! These soft and chewy cranberry oatmeal cookies are a delicious holiday twist on the classic oatmeal raisin cookie. Cranberries give these oatmeal cookies a bit of bright color and slight tartness.
Perfect for any time of the year, but especially during the holiday season, these cookies would also be delicious with the addition of chopped pecans or walnuts. I’ll be trying that next week, when I make all of my Christmas cookies for gift giving.
