In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Pour in wet ingredients and stir until almost combined, then add in the oats and dried cranberries and stir until the dough comes together with no streaks of flour remaining. Drop 1-inch balls of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving a little room for the cookies to spread. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set. The tops of the cookies should have very minimal browning, and the bottoms should be only light brown. Cool for a minute on the baking sheet, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
