Yield Makes 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
2 large eggs
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the vanilla, milk, and eggs. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars, and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are available in the fall and winter months. Frozen cranberries can be used year-round.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well into the cookie dough.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. The centers of the cookies should be slightly soft. If you overbake the cookies, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal cranberry cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
