Chewy Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
My husband is a lover of oatmeal cookies! Unfortunately for him, I never have been.
So for the past 6 years I have been stingy and selfish, sticking to my favorite chocolate chip. I know I’m an awful wife! I’m sorry!!
But I had never had an oatmeal cookie that just made me say Wow! I don’t like the roughness of them and would prefer the soft gooey chocolate chip cookie any day!

I constantly hear from Nick about how we don’t ever have oatmeal cookies. It’s a running joke about my impartiality to them. At least I hope it’s just a joke!
This week I think I’ve found the perfect solution to our oatmeal vs. chocolate chip battle, with these Chewy Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies. Let the battle cease!
Ingredients
3/4 cup salted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3 small eggs (or 2 large, we’ve got tons of pullet eggs right now. 🙂 )
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup craisins
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until smooth.
Add your eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and oats.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture.
Add chocolate chips and craisins and mix in.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop onto a baking sheet.
For softer cookies bake for 12 minutes, or for crisp (like Nick likes, I know weird.) bake for 14 minutes.
Cool on a wire cooling rack.
