Crazy for craisins? Us too! That’s why we’ve gotten inspired to add them to cookies in this recipe for light, fresh, citrusy cranberry oatmeal cookies. We love the satisfying crunch of walnuts but feel free to throw your own sweet twist on this recipe by adding in white chocolate chunks instead of the walnuts. Even though this oatmeal cranberry walnut cookie recipe only takes a little over an hour to make, you’ll come away with about 90 cookies, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to give others a craisin surprise.
