Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes) using a hand or stand mixer.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped pecans using a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underdone.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.’, ‘Toast the pecans for extra flavor before adding them to the dough.’, ‘Avoid overmixing to prevent dense cookies.’, ‘Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.’]
