Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.75 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries or raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, chocolate chunks, and dried cranberries until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop 2-tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown. The centers may still look slightly underbaked.
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.
Enjoy warm or store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
