  6. Stir in rolled oats and dried cranberries until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For softer cookies, reduce baking time by 1 minute.
  • You can substitute dried cherries or raisins for cranberries.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
