These delicious cookies are a great way to use fresh frozen cranberries. These would be wondefully festive for your Thanksgiving or Christmas snack table. When I buy fresh cranberries, I immediately put them in the freezer in their original bag. They are easier to chop or grind this way for recipes and keep for over a year.

This recipe sounds wonderful. I love cranberries and oatmeal!
Have you tried freezing these cookies?
I’m totally making these for Thanksgiving!
I haven’t tried freezing these yet, but all the ingredients are freezable. You could even freeze the raw dough for slice and bake cookies.
Can’t wait to try these! Thanks Angela.
I’m making these this afternoon with my kids!
My dear husband seems to like anything with oatmeal. i sent him the link to see if this should be added to our cookie Christmas :o)
LOL
That’s it! My husband wants to try them!!!
FYI – I did make and freeze these and they did wonderfully. They are very soft after you thaw them, but they’re a soft cookie anyway……perfect with a bowl of ice cream. 🙂
Angela, I DID make these with my kids, tweaked the recipe a little. Here is my post about it:
