Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 1/4 cups golden raisins
  • 1 1/4 cups dried cranberries
  • 1 1/4 cups roughly chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt in a medium bowl.

Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Add the molasses, yogurt, ginger and lemon zest and beat until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture to make a sticky batter (do not overmix). Fold in the oats and half of the raisins, cranberries and walnuts. Mix the remaining dried fruit and nuts in a small bowl and set aside.

Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets. Top each with some of the reserved dried-fruit-and-nut mixture and chill for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Bake the cookies until dark golden but still soft, 10 to 12 minutes; cool on a rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

    Amazing cookies! I changed dried cranberries to dried diced apples, and changed walnuts to chopped almonds and pecans, plus I added about 1/2 cup sweetened dried coconut. I put 1/2 the fruit and nuts inside the cookie dough as per directions, and I omitted putting the other half on top of cookies, saving money, and they still turned out yummmmmmy.

    I made these cookies last week when my husband and I both had really bad colds. At first taste, I wasn't in love, but my taste buds must have been out of whack that night because I've since fallen harder for them each time I've tasted one. There is a lot going on in these cookies with all their healthy ingredients but that is surely what makes them so good. Each time I bite into one I think they would make an excellent bread as well, since even in cookie form, they are almost bread-like in texture - soft and hearty.

    Excellent cookies! Made them today, however feel the ratio of dried fruit is a bit overkill. Suggest cutting the raisins and cranberry back to 1 cup each... Overall they're delicious and would make a nice addition to holiday cookies...
