Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C for 15 minutes.
  2. Cream together the margarine and sugars until smooth. Beat in the vanilla and milk.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda and spice; mix well.
  4. Stir in the oats, cranberries and pecans.
  5. Spoon tablespoonful of dough on ungreased cookies sheets (see My Notes) and bake between 12-15 minutes or until done. I baked 20 cookies at a time on a big cookie sheet. If you are using 2 sheets at once, shift cookie sheets halfway through baking.
  6. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and stand the cookies on the sheet itself for 2-3 minutes before transferring it to the cooling rack and let it cool completely.
My Notes:
  1. The instructions in the original recipe mentions to bake the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet but I wasn't able to lift off the cookies easily. So maybe you should try greasing it lightly. Also it did not mention to flatten the cookies, so for the first batch I just scooped the dough using a small ice cream scoop and the cookies didn't flatten at all. I baked those cookies few extra minutes and they were more chewy. So for the 2nd batch I flattened the dough with the back of a fork and these cookies were crispy around the edges and chewy in the center.
  2. Also adding nuts was optional but I would definitely recommend it because the cookies tasted awesome with the pecans.
  3. I'm not much of a spice fan, so I have reduced the quantity of spice from 1 and 1/2 teaspoon to 3/4th and we liked the mellow flavor very much. Also check out the original recipe for the blend of spices used. Since I didn't have all of it, I went with ground allspice.
  4. I used Pillsbury brand whole wheat flour available in Indian grocery store.
