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 the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Stir in the oats and dried cranberries by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a fork or piping bag.

Step 12

Let the glaze set for 15-20 minutes before serving or storing.
