  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined.
  5. Add the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts, and gently stir until evenly distributed.
  6. With hands dampened with water or lightly oiled to prevent sticking, shape the dough into small balls, place on the baking sheet, and press into discs.
