For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of softened butter. If you don't have dried cranberries, you can substitute raisins or chopped dried apricots. Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

These aren't your grandma's oatmeal cookies! We're sneaking in a touch of veggie sweetness and a burst of tangy cranberries for a truly irresistible treat that's surprisingly good for you. Carrots are not normally found in cookies, but they act as a great natural sweetener while adding moisture. I also replaced half the chocolate chips with dried cranberries. These cookies are tasty and a good source of fiber.
