Oatmeal Cookies with Dried Cranberries and Chocolate Chips

Don't you love the texture of a soft and chewy oatmeal cookie?  I'm not a fan of raisins so I prefer substituting dried cranberries for the raisins you might find in a traditional oatmeal cookie. 

Adding semi-sweet chocolate chips pairs well with the tartness of the dried cranberries in these cookies.  Feel free to use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips, if you prefer.

Somehow I'm able to delude myself into thinking these might be healthy cookies.  After all, there are three cups of old-fashioned oats in this recipe.  And, don't forget the dried cranberries.  They're good for you, right?  I'm kidding, of course, but healthy or not, these cranberry chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are a tasty treat to have with a glass of milk or a cup of tea.

You'll also like that these are no-fuss cookies.  Just mix the ingredients together and bake.  The whole assembling of the recipe takes five minutes tops.  In less than thirty minutes you can have warm cookies to share with friends and family.

Tips for Baking Success

Use a cookie scoop for evenly-sized cookies.

Cooking time may vary based on the size of your cookies. Bake until set and lightly browned, from 8-12 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies. 

Be careful not to overbake your cookies.  You want them to be lightly browned.
