This oatmeal cookie recipe is just fabulous - loaded with cranberries, raisins, walnuts, and of course oatmeal!  I made them the other day but decided to make mini-cookies instead of regular sized.  A party for your mouth in one single bite!!

OATMEAL COOKIES

3/4 c butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 c granulated sugar

1 t baking powder

1/2 t cinnamon

1/4 t baking soda

1/4 t salt

2 eggs

1 t vanilla

1 3/4 c flour

2 c quick cooking oats

1/2 c raisins

1/2 c sweetened dried cranberries

1/2 c chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a large bowl, beat the butter with a mixer for 30 seconds.  Add the sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.  Beat until combined, be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl.  Beat in the flour and the oats, and then add the raisins, cranberries and walnuts.

Drop the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet (I use parchment paper to put the dough on).  Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are brown.  Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
