Ingredients

Instructions

Cookies

  • 1 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour, whisked before measuring
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon, or more to taste
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 cup nuts, chopped
  • 1 cup cranberries or raisins, chopped

Frosting

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon Milk or Water
Preheat oven to 375. Prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper or cooking spray.

Beat butter and both sugars until fluffy. Sugars won't dissolve completely. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Mixture will get fluffier.

Separately, stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

Add flour mixture to butter mixture and blend.

Add oats, nuts and fruit. Mix until just blended. Dough will be a bit sticky.

Drop generously an inch apart or use a 1 inch cookie scoop.

Bake 11 minutes. They were soft in the center and crisp on the edges.

Whisk powdered sugar with vanilla and liquid. Water gives a harder glaze; dairy a softer one.

Drizzle over cooled cookies.
