Oatmeal Cranberry Almond Cookies

November 2, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Hi Everyone,

As you may know my Sunday tradition is to bake cookies.  I guess you get that considering how many cookie recipes I share with you.  Well this week I changed up my cookie.  I made it a little healthier, I added whole wheat flour, skipped the chocolate and add a little bit of Fall into it, by adding cranberries.  Today I am sharing with you my Oatmeal Cranberry Almond Cookies.

Oatmeal Cranberry Almond Cookies
I have to admit these are one of my new favorite cookies. They are chewy, crunchy and have a great almond crunch. Plus they are chock full of juicy cranberries. I added organic oatmeal for additional fiber, plus the almonds, oh boy the almonds are great in this cookie. They are not overwhelming, but have a great little crunch and flavor. You can taste them in every bite. One of the best parts is the smell. They smell so good when your baking them. It did remind me of Fall. We don’t really get too much Fall here in Northern California. So I get my fill in by cookie Fall flavors. I didn’t add cinnamon in the cookie, but you could add one teaspoon if you like. I skipped it because I didn’t want to miss out on the almond flavor.
Oatmeal Cranberry Almond Cookies
To make the cookies I used Bob Mills Organic Oatmeal. I wanted to give the cookie an Oatmeal Raisin type feel. For the Cranberries I used reduced sugar Craisins from Ocean Spray. I picked them up at Target. For the almonds I used whole, roasted almonds that I also bought at Target. I chopped them up into tiny little pieces in my mini food processor. You can also roast your own almonds, if desired. If you’re not an almond fan, you could use another nut like walnuts, but I LOVE almonds.

Recipe type: Cookies
Cuisine: American
Serves: 84
Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup oats (not quick cooking)
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, not packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. almond extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1½ cups cranberries (I used reduced sugar)
  • 2 cups whole almonds, chopped small
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  2. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, add flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder and salt; stir well; set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, add butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, almond extract and eggs; beat until well blended.
  5. Gradually add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over mix. Fold in the cranberries and almonds.
  6. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough on to prepared pans about 2 inches apart. I baked 9 cookies per sheet.
  7. Bake for 8 - 9 minutes or until the bottom of cookie is lightly brown. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for two minutes and place onto cooling rack.

Oatmeal Cranberry Almond Cookies

I think these cookies would make for  a great holiday gift.  I know, I thinking holidays already.  But I can’t believe we are into November already.  I have not even thought of Christmas, heck I haven’t even thought of Thanksgiving.  I guess I need to get my butt moving on this.  I hate getting ready for these holidays at the last-minute.

I hope you have a great week!


Toodles,

Jennifer

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

❤️
I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
