Walnut cranberry oatmeal cookies

These cookies have the perfect balance of crisp and chewy. Slightly chewy inside with crispy edges they're loaded with dried cranberries and toasted walnuts,they have the best texture and they're unbelievably delicious.

While brown sugar brings moisture to these cookies walnuts ,cranberries and oats give them a wonderful texture and flavor and make these cookies the perfect school or afternoon snack,i would say!

I used less oats because i didn't want a granola bar like texture,i like a cookie with texture but not too dense!!

Because i like them crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside i baked the cookies between 12 to 16 minutes but if you want them crisper,go longer.They're quick and easy to make and don't need to chill the dough.

Making them is just as easy as eating them!!!😜 Also they freeze well and you can enjoy homemade cookies anytime!!
