Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 130 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams old-fashioned oats
- 100 grams dried cranberries (craisins)
- 120 grams powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the oats and dried cranberries by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a fork or piping bag.
Let the glaze set for 15-20 minutes before serving or storing.
