Yield 3 dozen, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
2 large eggs
1/2 lb unsalted butter
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla.
  • 3. In the bowl of a mixer, using a paddle attachment, combine the room temperature butter with the sugars. Beat on medium speed until mixture is light and fluffy.
  • 4. Set the mixer to low speed, and gradually add egg mixture to the sugar mixture- beat well.
  • 5. Add flour mixture- beat just until combined.
  • 6. Remove bowl. Stir in the oats and cranberries.
  • 7. Cover and put dough in the refrigerator until firm, at least 2-3 hours. (Can be left longer.).
  • 8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a few baking sheets with parchment paper. If you only have one baking sheet, place extra dough back in refrigerator between bakings.
  • 9. Shape pieces of dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place 3 inches apart on sheets.
  • 10. Press with the bottom of a glass to flatten dough into 2-inch-diameter.
  • 11. Bake until golden but still soft in center, 16 to 18 minutes, turning sheets halfway through for even baking.
  • 12. Remove from oven; transfer with parchment to a wire rack to cool. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
