Low-Sugar Oatmeal Raisin Cranberry Cookies

• 3/4 cup (75 grams) walnuts, roughly chopped
• 16 tablespoons (2 sticks/225 grams) unsalted butter, melted and completely cooled)
• 6 tablespoons (75 grams) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup (105 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups (150 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant or quick-cooking)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup (120 grams) raisins, about half of them chopped roughly
• 3/4 cup (120 grams) dried cranberries

1. If you're baking the cookies on the same day you prepare the batter, heat the oven to 350u0b0 F (175u0b0 C) and position a rack in the center of the oven. Place walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Set aside to cool. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
2. Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or mixing by hand with a wooden spoon or an electric hand mixer), mix the butter and sugar together on medium speed until the two are completely mixed together, about 5 to 7 minutes (10 minutes if mixing by hand). Stop the mixer and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and the paddle itself a few times; the sugar and butter love to collect here and stay unmixed.
3. Beat in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla on medium speed until thoroughly combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Again scrape the bowl and the paddle to make sure the eggs are thoroughly incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, oats, baking soda, salt, grated nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Add the raisins (both whole and chopped), cranberries, and walnuts to the flour mix and toss to combine. Turn the mixer on low speed (or continue to use a wooden spoon if mixing by hand) and slowly blend the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Mix until the flour and raisins are totally incorporated and the dough is completely mixed.
5. For best results, scrape dough into an airtight container and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 3 to 4 hours) before baking.
6. When ready to bake, heat the oven to 350u0b0 F/175u0b0 C and position a rack in the center of the oven.
7. Drop the dough in approximately 1/4-cup balls onto a baking sheet, with about 2 inches (5 centimeters) of space between each one-they don't really spread that much.
8. Bake until the cookies are golden brown on the edges andrnslightly soft in the center, 14 to 18 minutes, rotating the tray about halfway during baking. Be careful not to overbake! Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes on the sheet, then remove the cookies from the sheet and let them continue cooling on a wire rack.
9. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. The unbaked dough can be stored for up to 1 week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
