Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Craisins (dried cranberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and fresh orange zest until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Stir in the rolled oats and craisins using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underdone, but they will set as the cookies cool.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Oatmeal Orange Craisin Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
