Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 90 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams chocolate chips
- 50 grams dried cranberries
- 50 grams chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and nuts (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
