1/2 cup finely chopped dates (about 12 pitted dates)
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Set oven to 350º F.
Cream butter and sugar until smooth then mix in vanilla and egg.
Whisk flour, soda and salt together in a small bowl and stir in gradually to butter mixture until combined.
Gently mix in oats and dates.
Coarsely chop the cranberries. I just cut them into halves or quarters and ended up with about 3/4 cup when all was said and done. Add them into the dough.
Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
Drop by tablespoons onto greased or lined baking sheets and bake 12-15 minutes, until edges are lightly browned and tops are set.
Allow to cool a few minutes on sheets, then remove to racks to cool completely.
Store in airtight containers for soft cookies, or loosely covered for crisp cookies.
