Print Recipe

Soft, chewy cookies packed with dried cranberries, pecans, and oats, perfectly spiced with cinnamon for a comforting fall treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Stir in the old-fashioned rolled oats, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will still look slightly soft.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading. Slightly underbake for softer cookies. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even cooking.
