October is the start of the holiday rush for many families in America. It’s when things start to gear up just bit. Savvy shoppers are on their final leg of Christmas shopping, and party divas are putting in extra breakers to handle the electrical load that will soon be added to their breaker boxes. The last of the harvest is coming in in most places, and the days and nights are getting starting to get cold. We start to think about entertaining, and all that goes with it. Especially desserts. (The remainder of this article was formerly published at a site no longer in service.) by Lyn Lomasi, Write W.A.V.E. Media Staff What happens when you crave something sweet at night, but don't have the ingredients for your usual treats? Tonight I glanced in the cupboard to see what I could bake with what I had on hand. I had cookie-making ingredients, but was missing some of my usual add-ins. Then I realized I did have oats. "Hmm, what if I put these dried cranberries in there too?" I threw it all together and came up with a great cranberry oatmeal cookie recipe. There aren't any left, so apparently, the eight people in the house approve.
Ingredients:
Directions: Preheat oven to 350F. Many cookie recipes call for creaming the butter (or spread) and sugar first, but I'm very non-traditional. I'm also a risk-taker. So, sometimes my baking is a little haphazard, but it always comes out good. Just ask my live-in taste testers (aka my kids). If they'll eat it without a complaint, it's good. I just throw everything in the mixing bowl in whatever order I feel like at the time. Stir it all together until it's blended well. The consistency should be soft and easy to create a ball with. If it's too sticky, add a little bit of flour until you can work with it better. Now, take your cranberry oatmeal cookie dough and create small 4 inch balls and place them on the cookie sheet about an inch apart. Cook for about 15 minutes or until brown. I usually prefer my cookies soft. If you'd like more firmness in your cranberry oatmeal cookies, just cook them a touch longer. Once the cookies are done, let them cool on a plate or cooking rack and serve. Yield: About 3 dozen cranberry oatmeal cookies For different taste variations, add some cinnamon, nutmeg, or both. Note that my recipes are made in a high altitude environment, so no altering for that will be necessary. *I originally published this via Yahoo Contributor Network |
