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, whisk together the peanut butter, brown sugar, non-dairy milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick and sticky dough forms.
Fold in the dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of space between each cookie.
Flatten the balls slightly with the back of a spoon to shape them into cookies, as they won't spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Vegan Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
