Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies

Apparently all that I have been doing lately is cooking? Well I have another recipe to share with you. As is evident from my granola recipe that I have a constant supply of at our house, I love cranberries, oatmeal and nuts. I needed to make cookies last week and used this recipe to include some of my fave ingredients. Enjoy!

-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-2 3/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
