CRANBERRY OATMEAL COOKIES ARE FABULOUS FALL COOKIES PERFECT FOR THANKSGIVING OR CHRISTMAS!

I told my sister I was looking to expand the cookie collection on the blog for the holiday, and she said she had just the cookie to share – Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies! Boy was she right! These are soft, delicious and full of flavors perfect for Thanksgiving cookies and Christmas cookies – oatmeal, cinnamon, pecans and, of course, cranberries!

Growing up, the only cranberries we ever had in the house was a can of jellied cranberry for Thanksgiving. It wasn’t until much later in life that I ever tasted a fresh cranberry and now I love baking with them. Side note: If you are looking for a fresh cranberry sauce recipe, you should definitely make this one from my good friend Rebecca at Sugar & Soul – Bourbon Orange Cranberry Sauce! It’s amazing!

As you can tell from above, we really do love cranberries! With being pregnant this year, I’ll be missing those White Cranberry Margaritas the most this holiday season. They are so pretty and delicious!

Now, back to these cookies! This is the perfect way to bring cranberries to the menu for even families who aren’t big cranberry eaters, and you can always use dried cranberries instead if it’s easier for you! The oatmeal and sugars do a great job of balancing the tang of cranberries into a sweet, flavorful fall cookie!
