    Taste and Occasion

    Ok, pure fresh cranberries are perhaps not really one of the tastiest foods - but nicely packaged or rather baked (😉) in these cranberry cookies they convince all along the line! The cookies additionally consist of oatmeal, vanilla or a good pinch of salt, and taste really, really good!

    Ingredients

    At the moment is the season for the tart berries. They look incredible. For pastries, of course, I prefer using the dried alternative (which, in addition, is usually sweetened). The cranberry oatmeal cookies have a perfect consistency for me. Namely a bit soft and chewy and crunchy at the same time. Such a bit like the classic oatmeal cookies.

    The Cranberry Cookies with Oatmeal recipe is an actual last-minute recipe. Except for the 30-minute chilling time of the dough, which you can even omit in a pinch, you'll only need 20 minutes. Including baking time. Sounds good? It is!

    How to make the Cranberry Oat Cookies

    Let's get started, cookie-fans: For the topping, soak 30g of cranberries in hot water. Now, cream the butter with both sugars, then mix in the egg and vanilla pulp well.

    After that, mix the flour, rolled oats, baking powder as well as salt and stir briefly but vigorously into the wet ingredients. Finally, fold in about 50g cranberries. Refrigerate dough in a tin or similar for at least 30 minutes.

    It's time for preheating oven to 350°F/175°C. Then, cover a baking sheet with baking paper. Take out about 20 small portions of the dough one by one and shape them into balls with your hands. Place balls on a baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

    Recipe Recommendation

    Soft and Chewy Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

    These chewy chocolate oatmeal cookies are stunning - crunchy and soft at the same time! If you like, you can bake these American oatmeal cookies plain or with raisins.

    In the end, bake cookies for about 8-10 minutes. They should still be a little soft! Lastly, drain the soaked cranberries very well. To decorate the cookies while still warm, top with cranberries and optional chocolate drops; press both in a little.

    Top Tip

    I recommend topping the cranberry cookies with white chocolate for an extra treat. Since I didn't have any white cinnamon drops, only light brown ones, mine look slightly different 😉.
