Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on a low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Stir in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and sliced almonds using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten the tops of each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly soft.
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 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
