Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies chewy.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
