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
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.75 cup Craisins (dried cranberries)

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 together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 3

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and fresh orange zest until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats and craisins using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underdone, but they will set as the cookies cool.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Oatmeal Orange Craisin Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
