Oatmeal Crasin Cookies

These are super yummy without being over sweet. Plus, they make the house smell soooooo good! You do have to chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking...so just take that into account when you make these!

Ingredients:

1 C butter, softened

1 1/3 C light brown sugar, packed

1 1/2 C flour (all purpose)

2 eggs

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

3 C rolled oats

3/4 C raisins

3/4 C dried cranberries (crasins)

1 C walnuts, chopped

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir this mix into the butter mixture.

3. Mix in oats, raisins, crasins, and walnuts. Dough will be very heavy and sticky. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Halfway though chilling, preheat oven to 350.
