Tips:

  • For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you don't have rolled oats, you can use quick oats, but they will absorb more liquid, so you may need to add a little more flour.
  • You can use any type of dried cranberries, but tart cranberries will give the cookies a more intense flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • The cookies will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
