Cranberry Nut Oatmeal Cookies

Delicious and chewy oatmeal cookies with dried cranberries and pecans.

Ingredients

  • unsalted butter (1 cup)
  • light brown sugar (1.5 cups)
  • vanilla extract (2 teaspoons)
  • eggs (2 large)
  • old-fashioned rolled oats (2 cups)
  • all-purpose flour (1.5 cups)
  • baking powder (1 teaspoon)
  • ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
  • coarse kosher salt (1.5 teaspoons)
  • ground nutmeg (0.5 teaspoon)
  • dried cranberries (0.5 cup)
  • chopped toasted pecans (0.5 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Place unsalted butter and light brown sugar into the work bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium-slow speed until very fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract, followed by eggs, one at a time. Reduce mixer speed to lowest speed and leave running.
  3. Whisk rolled oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, kosher salt, and nutmeg together in a separate bowl; gradually add oat mixture into the slowly running mixer, a 1/3 at a time. Mix in dried cranberries and nuts until just incorporated. Using a large cookie scoop, place dough on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake one batch at a time in the preheated oven just until the edges are brown, 17 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.
