Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and white granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten the tops with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your crisp cranberry oatmeal cookies!
