What’s better than an oatmeal raisin cookie? Try one of these Oatmeal Cookies with Nuts and Chocolate. I went with pecans and milk chocolate, and swapped out the raisins for dried cranberries. More is more, I think, so I increased a bit what Dorie calls the “middling” amount of chopped nuts and dried fruit that she prefers.

These have just a touch of honey, along with the normal white and brown sugars, and they baked up nicely browned but kept their soft chew. Very comforting to have a tin full of these, I must say. Maybe I made a mistake by only making 1/3 recipe!?

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

Haha…yes, we both made the mistake of making smaller batches! These were so good and although I don’t like raisins in my oatmeal cookies…the cranberries were delicious!

I made a full batch and froze half to bake off when I need a cookie stat! Love this combo of chocolate and nuts!

I made half a batch, shared them with friends, and froze the rest. It’s definitely worth making a full batch!

These look delicious! I am just about to bake mine. 45 cookies seemed a little OTT, even to share, so I am baking a half recipe for the office.
