Oats Cranberry cookies

The goodness of oats and cranberry are the highlights of this cookies and can be enjoyed both as snack as well as breakfast. I used 'Oceanspray' brand dried cranberries and old fashion oats. I formulated this recipe and hope you all love it !


 I made these cute treat bags using ziplock covers and crochet yarn.



cool them completely.

space between cookies is important, as the oats cookies doubles in size.

Ingredients:
Old fashioned oats - 3 cups
whole wheat flour - 1 1/2 cup
cranberry (dry , sliced) - 1 cup
Butter - 6 tbsp
sour cream - 1/2 cup
(butter sourcream ration can be substituted with butter 1 cup)
white sugar - 3/4 cup
brown sugar - 3/4 cup
egg - 2
vanilla extract - 1 tsp
salt - 1/2 tsp
baking soda - 1 tsp
cinnamon - 1 tsp
nutmeg powder - 1/4 tsp
cardamom - 1 tsp

Method:
Mix and cream the butter, sour cream and sugar. Add egg, vanilla and mix well.
I do this process in mixie.
In a large mixing bowl , add all the dry ingredients, cranberry and spices. Pour the wet ingredients and mix well. Using hands will make this stage easy:)
The oats cookie dough is ready.
Fold the dough using cling wrap (or keep in  air tight container) and keep refrigerated for nearly 1 hour or till we need to make cookies. Refrigeration makes the handling easy
Preheat the oven to 350 deg F.
Line the cookie baking sheets with aluminum foil or use simply.
Spray / coat with butter or oil.
Divide the dough into 4 equal size balls. Make long cylindrical shapes and cut them into12 equal size portions. Make balls and slightly  flatten them while placing on cookie sheets.
Thicker cookies tastes very good.
Bake for 8 - 12 minutes, depending upon the oven.
Take out, let them cool completely and store in airtight containers.
Oats cranberry cookie is ready!
 
Serving suggestion:
Serve as snack or breakfast.
We can refrigerate / freeze the dough and use to make fresh cookies too.
Makes 48 cookies.
