Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature (1 stick)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds (or other chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Combine the sugars, butter, cinnamon, ginger, and egg in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed (about 2 minutes). Add the flour and mix thoroughly.
  • Fold in the oats, cranberries, vanilla, and nuts and beat at medium speed until combined into a stiff cookie dough.
  • Form the dough into golf ball-sized balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake until lightly golden at the edges (12 to 15 minutes). Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a platter or wire rack to cool completely.
