Cranberry Oatmeal Walnut Cookies
At the Henry Ford Bungalow, guests are greeted with a plate of tender oatmeal cookies, baked from scratch by long-time Pequaming resident and manager, Therese Korpi, who contributed this cranberry oatmeal cookie recipe.
Plump, tangy cranberries and earthy walnuts fill these palm-sized treats, making these cookies the perfect anecdote to a tall glass of lemonade.
Nibble slowly—make it last—and pretend you are lounging in a white rocking chair on the Bungalow’s covered porch, watching a blazing sunset dip into the Keweenaw Bay.
