Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar light or dark
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F.
- Combine the butter and sugars until well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between, and then blend the vanilla into the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients slowly mixing between each addition. Add in the last 1/4 cup of flour 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough is no longer sticky, but it is not crumbly. If the dough becomes crumbly, add water 1 teaspoon at a time and mix well until dough holds together again.
- Stir in the cranberries. Use two tablespoons of dough to make balls and place them on a cookie sheet spaced 2 in apart then slightly flatten them.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the center is just set. DO NOT OVERBAKE! Let cool 2 minutes and then move to cooling rack to cool. Enjoy!

Notes
- Substitutions:
- How to Store: To save leftovers cookies, place into an tight container or zipper bags and keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
- How to Freeze: Cookies can be frozen before or after baking. See “how to freeze” section in original post for full instructions.
- Cookies can be frozen before or after baking.
- Butter – Either salted or unsalted works, but unsalted is a slightly better flavor since we add salt separately too in this recipe.
- Oats – Regular rolled oats can be used, too, but the texture will change slightly.
