We have over ten pounds of black walnuts we harvested on our land, so I've been finding ways to use them up. I made some black walnut cranberry oatmeal cookies that turned out really well, and thought I'd share the recipe. It makes about 4 dozen cookies.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup of shortening or softened butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
2/3 cup dried cranberries
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, beat well. Add dry ingredients and oats. Stir in cranberries and walnuts. Form into balls the size of a walnut and press down. Bake at 375* for ten minutes or until just starting to brown.
What do you think, readers? Do black walnut cookies sound tasty?

they sound delicious!
I love the added cranberries, yum!!
My theory on cookies, which I tell the wife quite often because she forgets or just never listens is....
There IS only one cookie and it only contains chocolate chips.
All the rest are atrocities of the baking world :)
The cookies look and sound delicious; thanks for the recipe. I think I've told you before, but the black walnuts will always remind me of my grandpa!
Thank you for the recipe. They sound yummy!
Wow - those sound and look SO good. I'm definitely writing down the recipe! How great that you harvested so many walnuts. :)

I love cranberries and oatmeal. I think it sounds delicious.
I love to just eat raw walnuts. I know it's bad for me, but then so are a lot of the things I like to do.
What a great idea to share, Lisa! It sounds very healthy and good! :)
I'll bet they smell wonderful!
I have a recipe close to this one. They are so good!
They sound and look delicious!!!
oh yum!
I bet that recipe can work without the cranberrys too?
