So I love oatmeal cookies but detest raisins. Before heading to a (totally epic) holiday cookie party, I decided to crowdsource a cookie recipe on Twitter. I received a bunch of options, but was most intrigued by this recipe. It came in from a couple who make these regularly and had finely tuned them to maximize delicious. These smell *amazing* while baking. Original base recipe here.
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups rolled oats (NOT instant)
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups semi sweet (or dark, in my case) chocolate chips
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line with parchment 2 cookie sheets.
2) In large bowl, beat butter until creamy then add sugars. Beat until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until thoroughly mixed. (Can I get a hell yeah for Kitchen Aid mixers?)
3) Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl. Stir into butter and sugar mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Add in oats. (You're probably thinking "no way is that all going to fit in there!" But it will, trust me.)
4) Spoon these out by (more or less) rounded tablespoonfuls onto the cookie sheets, being sure to leave space between them. Don't do what I did the first time and make them too big. They're a dense, hearty cookie, after all.
5) Bake 10-12 minutes. Let them rest on the cookie sheets for a minute before moving them to the cooling rack as they'll be really soft until cool.
