No real story behind these cookies. I was browsing one of my favorite food blogs, Lovin' From the Oven, and she made a Dark Chocolate Chip Cranberry Oatmeal Cookie. I've recently discovered a love for cranberries (cranberry juice has always been a favorite of mine, I just never really enjoyed actually eating cranberries until recently) and decided I was going to make these. Except - are you ready for this? - I don't like chocolate chips. At all. I don't like them in my muffins, in my cupcakes, in my brownies, in my cookies, in anything. Am I the only one? I feel like I am. Anyway, I decided not to let the chocolate chips stop me and made the cookies with just cranberries instead. I love the sweetness and chewiness the cranberries bring to the cookies. This recipe made about 28 cookies and within 24 hours there are only 3 left.
Cream together one stick of room temperature butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Add 1 egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla and mix until well combined. Stir in 1 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Add in 1 cup of oatmeal and about 3/4 cup of cranberries. (I started out with 1 cup of cranberries but then I had a little bit left in the bag and decided to just dump them all in.) Refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours.
Scoop balls of dough (I used a tablespoon) onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes.
Let cookies cool on a wire rack.
