How To Make Oatmeal Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

First, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside. In a stand mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy. Next, whisk in eggs and keep beating the mixture until well combined. Add vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture, and beat it slowly until combined. Fold in oats, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips with a spatula. Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape and weigh each dough to the same size. Place each dough on the baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for 9 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies or 12 to 15 minutes for crispy cookies. Transfer the cookies onto a cooling rack, and let them cool completely. Sever immediately.

Baking Tips

In my recipe, I reduce the butter to half a cup instead of one cup to make the cookies less fatty and healthier. Use one cup of butter for a chewier and moist texture if desired. Using either old-fashion rolled oats or Quaker oats will work for this recipe. To ensure all cookies are baked simultaneously, shape and weigh each dough to the same size before placing them on the baking pan.
