Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies


As summertime winds down,  it's time to enjoy the sunflowers all around us.  Please join me for some yummy cookies and a refreshing glass of black raspberry frost sparkling water, which I find at Aldi's. My lady vase has her hat topped with a giant sunflower. 

 Aren't these coasters darling?  A sweet friend painted these and sent them to me.  You can visit her Society 6 Shop here.



Another dear friend sent me this beautiful towel that I have hanging on my oven towel.   



Yes, even my front door is  sprinkled with sunflowers.  





Yield: About 24 large cookies

  2. 🌻🌻🌻🌻Gotta love cheery sunflowers. Even I have one in my decor. Just one. Those Hobby Lobby ones are expensive. 😉 This cookie sounds wonderful. I have rarely met a cookie that I didn’t like. It also sounds like a bit of an autumnal offering in keeping with late summer and the sunflowers.

  9. I have a confession to make: sunflowers used to creep me out because their heads were so big! But I like your charming vignette with the MacKenzie-Childs vibes. Now I'm off to visit your friend's website!

  11. Those cookies look so yummy, and I am trying to figure out if I could substitute honey for the white and brown sugars. The consistency is different, but I think I may be able to make it work! Thank you for another inspiring post, sweet friend. :) Praying for you!
