Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
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 the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the rolled oats and ground flaxseed, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Fold in the dried cranberries, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
