Ingredients:

120 g rolled oats
125 g all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
115 g softened unsalted butter
100 g brown sugar, packed
100 g granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
150 g dried cranberries
120 g chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). The anticipation of cookies baking is wonderful, and you’ll want that delightful aroma wafting through your home as soon as possible!
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir together to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed, allowing the warm scent of cinnamon to fill the air.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Using a wooden spoon for this step adds a personal touch. It should take about 2–3 minutes to achieve a pale, creamy mixture that springs back when pressed.
4. Crack the egg into the buttery sugar mixture and add the vanilla extract. Beat until everything is well combined; the blend of flavors is already delightful!
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined—be careful not to over-mix! Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts if using. This is where your dough gets its character—those colorful additions bring both flavor and texture!
6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between each cookie, as they will spread during baking.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10–12 minutes. The cookies are ready when they are lightly golden around the edges. Enjoy the wonderful scent of baking cookies that fills your kitchen—this is the magic of the holiday season!
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack. This cooling period helps them firm up and maintain their chewy texture. It’s tempting to grab one immediately, but I won’t judge if you do!
