Oatmeal cookies with walnuts and cranberries

Oatmeal cookies with walnuts and cranberries are a delicious variation of the classic oatmeal cookies enjoyed in many countries. Their origin dates back to the North American tradition of incorporating healthy and natural ingredients into desserts, highlighting oats as a nutritious component that adds texture and flavor. In several Latin American countries, this recipe can be found under similar names such as "oat and nut cookies" or "healthy cookies," although the use of dried cranberries gives them a special touch highly valued in Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia.

These cookies combine the crunchy texture of the walnuts and cereal with the natural, slightly tart sweetness of the dried cranberries, creating a perfect balance that makes them an ideal snack for any time of the day. Furthermore, they are easy to prepare and can be adapted to different tastes, as ingredients can be added or substituted according to personal preference.
