This is my favorite cranberry oatmeal cookies recipe! A fun twist on classic oatmeal raisin, these healthy cookies are supremely chewy and full of flavor. Bright cranberries, cozy spices, and soft oats blended together in a comfortingly sweet dough…...
I went through a big cranberry phase in high school. Most mornings, I poured myself a bowl of granola — a blend of bran flakes, oat clusters, and cranberries from Trader Joe’s — before rushing off to campus for my 7 am class on weekdays or fishing the sports section out of our local newspaper on weekends to catch up on the latest baseball news.
After dropping my backpack next to the kitchen table in the afternoons, I often reached for a carton of refreshingly cold cranberry juice in our fridge or dug through the pantry for a handful of dried cranberries. Some evenings, we sprinkled those same cranberries on top of spinach salads as a quick and easy dinner side.
One particular weekend during the holidays, I even ordered a slice of cranberry crumb coffee cake from one of my family’s favorite restaurants. The entire table fell silent as our waiter walked away.
Five pairs of eyes stared at me. I squirmed a little in my seat and looked down at the napkin in my lap. In that moment, I thought they might threaten to make me walk home… Or at least kick me out of our booth. I forgot it was an unwritten rule — if not complete taboo! — to order anything besides the classic blueberry crumb coffee cake…
But with its irresistible flavors, my slice with its bright red berries was worth every bite!
So my high school self would’ve loved these healthy cranberry oatmeal cookies! They’re a fun break from the traditional raisin variety, and they’re especially satisfying during the holidays and cranberry season.
But in all honesty… I’d happily eat them any time of year!
