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
- 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
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, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest to the butter-sugar mixture, and blend until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until a dough forms.
Fold in the dried cranberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop mounds 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 soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
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.
Serve and enjoy your Orange Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or milk!
