Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts or pecans, if using.
  7. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
