Ingredients
1 cup melted butter, cooled
1 cup dark brown sugar
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped and toasted (optional)
Preparation
In a large bowl, thoroughly stir together butter and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Add flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Mix well. Add oats, nuts and berries. Mix again.
Scoop dough onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten dough gently into thick rounds. Bake 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool cookies on paper on racks. For chewy cookies, cook a little less (until the edges look toasty but the tops still look pale and soft.)
