A freshly baked oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips and dried cranberries on a plate, with more cookies on a baking sheet in the background.

I’ve fed these to big kids and little kids alike…so far its been smiles and fighting for the last one on the plate with this recipe.

People seem to enjoy them fresh out of the oven plain or with a bit of ice cream, but they also keep really well and taste just as good at a later time 🙂

    • Recommendations

    If you find that the recipe is a bit dry, feel free to splash in a bit of water into the batter. Also, I’ve found that substituting other dried fruits, such as apricot or mango, up to the ¾ cup is just as good with this recipe.
