I tested a lot of cranberry oatmeal cookies but kept coming back to this one. It’s from Greg, aka “Oatmeal Cookie Guy” who devoted his whole blog to oatmeal cookies. These cookies are an Oatmeal Cookie Guy original and they’re always a hit. I took them to a party and while there were several other [...]
