Ahhh, the humble cranberry oatmeal cookie. My sons actually prefer its blend of oats, brown sugar. and sweet cranberries over chocolate chips cookies. I too love these cranberry oatmeal cookies and have to stop myself from wanting to eat these suckers for breakfast with my coffee! You’ve been warned.

Ingredients:

• 1 ¾ (14 Tbsp.) blocks of butter, softened (salted)
• 1 C. sugar
• ¼ C. brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 1 C. flour
• ¾ tsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• ½ C. cranberries (or sub up to 1 C. SS chocolate chips)
• 2 C. old-fashioned or quick oats

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream the butter and both sugars until fluffy.
3. Add egg and vanilla to the creamed butter/sugar mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and set aside.
5. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture until combined.
6. Add oats and cranberries.
7. Scoop batter with a cookie scoop and roll into a ball. Place rolled balls onto a cookie sheet and press down slightly.
8. Do not overcrowd the pan, cookies will spread.
9. Bake for 13-16 minutes.
10. Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before moving.

That’s it, only easy!
