Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and vanilla baking chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.
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.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
