Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams light brown sugar
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 130 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 150 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
• 100 grams dried cranberries
• 75 grams sliced almonds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on a low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and sliced almonds using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Lightly flatten the tops of each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly soft.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
