• Roll the dough into walnut-size balls and place them 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with a fork that has be dipped in sugar.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. makes 36 cookies.
• Additional Hint; I used Parkay Tub margarine and orange flavored cranberries. It gave the cookies a hint of orange flavor. Cranberries come in different flavors from Ocean Spray so these cookies can take on yummy results.
• I also did not chill the dough and used a medium cookie scoop and I did press them with a fork dipped in sugar. These cookies do spread so make sure they are at least 2 inches apart. They were a hit with my family.

BERRY NUTTY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cream together sugars, butter, and eggs.
• Add vanilla and mix.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, soda, baking powder, cinnamon and oats.
• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Stir in coconut, cranberries and pecans.
• Drop by teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. (Do not overbake!)
• SUGGESTIONS: Only use REAL butter. Toasting the pecans adds a wonderful flavor but when time is short, I leave out this step and the cookies are still delicious!
