I made these cookies to send to the boys at college (Henry currently at UCSD but they all still eat them). They are a combination of healthy oats, dried cranberries, walnuts and less healthy chocolate chips (Jane).

4. Form mixture into balls and place on trays about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake until golden brown and just set - about 15 minutes.
6. Cool on trays and transfer to wire racks to cool completely. 7. The cookies will keep at room temperature for about 5 days. They also freeze well. |
