Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cranberry and Raisin Cookies

You’ve probably had oatmeal raisin cookies before, and these shake things up a little by adding in dried cranberries with other yummy goodies.  These soft, chewy cookies are packed with nuts and fruit, as well as a healthy serving of oats.  I am gluten free, so I’ve included the gluten free oat & flour substitutes.  Here is my recipe for Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cranberry and Raisin Cookies:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 3/4 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 cup dried cranberries, packed
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup chopped almonds
• 2 cups Authentic Foods Multi-Blend Gluten-Free Flour
• 3 cups Cream Hill Estates Lara’s Rolled Oats (gluten free)

In a large mixing bowl combine the butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices, salt, and vanilla, and beat with a KitchenAid hand mixer until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; then add the maple syrup. Mix in the fruit and nuts, then the flour. Finally add the oats, continue mixing until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the bowl.
