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
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest to the butter-sugar mixture, and blend until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until a dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the dried cranberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Orange Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or milk!
