Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer (about 2 minutes).

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats and dried cranberries (Craisins) by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.

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

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
