Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups rolled oats
• 0.75 cups chopped pecans
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 0.75 cups dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats, chopped pecans, mini chocolate chips, and dried cranberries to create a thick, sticky cookie batter.

Step 7

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared casserole dish, pressing it down gently with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the cookies to remain soft and chewy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the dish on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.

Step 10

Once fully cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
