Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 g Unsalted butter
- 200 g Light brown sugar
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 180 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 240 g Rolled oats
- 150 g Dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the rolled oats and dried cranberries gently using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly undercooked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
