Ingredients
- 4 oz all purpose flour (¾ cup, see note)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 oz unsalted butter (room temperature but still firm)
- 4 oz brown sugar (½ cup, packed)
- 2 oz granulated sugar (¼ cup)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 oz old-fashioned rolled oats (1 ½ cups)
- 4 ½ oz dried cranberries (¾ cup)
- 4 ½ oz chocolate chips (¾ cup)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift together 4 oz all purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda½ teaspoon cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon salt set aside
- Cream 4 oz unsalted butter with 4 oz brown sugar and 2 oz granulated sugar on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes. Scrape the bowl. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix just until combined, scrape the bowl. With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour mixture, add 5 oz old-fashioned rolled oats all at once and mix until partially combined. Add 4 ½ oz dried cranberries and 4 ½ oz chocolate chips. You may need to finish the dough off the mixer to incorporate the cranberries and chips evenly.
- Using a 1½ oz cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop the dough into 1½" balls. Set the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet at least 2" apart (see note). If you want a thinner cookie bake right away. If you want a thicker cookie with a soft center, chill the dough before baking.
- Bake the cookies until golden brown around the edges and the center is just barely set. About 7-9 minutes depending if the dough is chilled or not.

Notes
If measuring the flour by volume use the “dip & sweep” method. That is, dip the measuring cup into the flour bin, overfill it, then sweep away the excess.
The portioned cookie dough can be frozen on a sheet pan and then packed into freezer bags. No need to defrost before baking. The dough balls can go straight from the freezer into a preheated oven.
The cookies will keep several days at room temperature.
