1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and position the oven rack in the middle. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients and Spices
In a medium bowl, combine the warm, fluid butter with the vanilla extract, cold egg, light brown sugar, and white sugar. Add the kosher salt, ground cinnamon, and baking soda. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
3. Fold in Dry Ingredients
Gently fold in the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and dried cranberries. Mix until just combined.
4. Portion the Dough
Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, divide the dough into 30 portions and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets. Space them evenly to allow for spreading during baking.
5. Rest the Dough
Let the dough stand on the baking sheets for 25 to 75 minutes.
6. Bake the Cookies
Bake the cookies at 350°F (180°C) for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are a pale gold and the centers are puffed and steamy.
7. Cool the Cookies
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes.
8. Store the Cookies
If you’re not eating the cookies immediately, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Replace the cranberries with chocolate chips or chunks. You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate, according to preference.
Introduce white, dark, or milk chocolate chips or chunks to the dough for a classic cranberry-chocolate combination. The chocolate's richness will balance the tartness of the cranberries beautifully.
Add peanut butter to the dough for a rich, nutty flavor. You can also use other nut butters like almond or cashew butter.
Add chopped nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, or even macadamia nuts for a crunchy texture.
Mix in chopped nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds for added texture and a nutty flavor. Toasting the nuts beforehand can elevate their taste and add a crunchy contrast to the chewy cookie.
