Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies with Walnuts and Cranberries.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C). This is the perfect temperature for baking those cookies to golden perfection!
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and non-fat plain yogurt. Using an electric mixer, beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, gradually add in the packed light brown sugar and white sugar, mixing until everything is well blended.
Step 3
Next, it's time to add the eggs! Incorporate them one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully mixed in before adding the next. Don't forget to pour in the vanilla extract for that lovely aroma and flavor!
Step 4
Now, gently mix in the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Be careful not to overmix; just stir until everything is just combined. This will keep your cookies nice and chewy!
Step 5
Fold in the quick cooking oats, chopped walnuts, semisweet chocolate chips, shredded carrots, and dried cranberries. This is where the magic happens—each bite will be a delightful surprise!
Step 6
Once your dough is ready, roll it into walnut-sized balls and place them about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. This will give them room to spread while baking.
Step 7
Pop the baking sheets into your preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the cookies are beautifully golden brown. The smell wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible!
Step 8
After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This helps them set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious, healthier cookies!
