Cranberry and Pistachio Oatmeal Lace ...

These cookies are a delicious change of pace to the regular
oatmeal raisin.  They also go along well with holiday colors.  A
great treat or addition to your holiday cookie routine!

Cranberry and Pistachio Oatmeal Lace Cookies

Makes 3 Dozen
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup cranberries, chopped

1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped

Preheat oven 350 degrees.
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment.
In small bowl stir together flour, cardamon, baking soda, salt and rolled oats.
In large bowl whisk together butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. 
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.
Stir in cranberries and pistachios.
Drop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough ( I use a small ice cream scoop) onto baking sheet, spacing cookies 2 to 3 inches apart. 
Bake until cookies have spread out completely and are deep golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes. 
Transfer to a wire rack and cool. 
Happy Holiday!  Enjoy!
