Oatmeal Cranberry and Pecan Cookies

Oatmeal Cranberry and Pecan Cookies are amazingly chewy and melt-in-your-mouth cookies.  It’s just another one of Liz’s delicious cookie recipe that everyone keeps asking her for.  Ever wonder why her cookies are really good and so additive?  They are unbelievably super moist and super chewy!  And the flavors are addicting!

Her recipe for Oatmeal Cranberry and Pecan Cookies is similar to her Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pecan Cookies.  Basically, they are similar to the Weight Watcher cookies, only she opt out the chocolate chips for the cranberries for a healthier twist!

These cookies are easy to make and they bake in minutes!!  Rolled oats, cranberries, pecans, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract and butter is all you really need.  Oh and I almost forgot –  NO FLOUR!

These cookies only need 10 minutes to prep,  10 minutes to bake, and 10 seconds to disappear.

All you need is plenty of milk near by!  Enjoy!

 

Here’s a Tip: Double or even triple this recipe and freeze them in foil trays with covers.  They defrost in minutes.  Also, you can substitute pecans for walnuts or almonds.
