Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Dried cranberries (Craisins)
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 unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer (about 2 minutes).
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the rolled oats and dried cranberries (Craisins) by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
