Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup, packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 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, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and optional chopped walnuts with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
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 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
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 your homemade Craisy Oatmeal Cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
