Cranberry Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 175 degrees Celsius. To ensure even baking, position an oven rack in the upper two-thirds of your oven.
2
Cover your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Now, combine softened unsalted butter and light brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. On medium-low speed, blend these ingredients until they become very light and fluffy, taking around 3 to 4 minutes.
3
Add a few drops of vanilla extract to the mixer bowl, followed by one egg at a time. Continue mixing until well combined. Next, reduce the mixer speed to its lowest setting and allow it to run continuously.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, kosher salt, and nutmeg until well combined. Gradually add the oat mixture to the mixer bowl in three equal parts, mixing continuously.
5
Mix in dried cranberries and nuts until they are just incorporated into the dough. Using a large cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
6
Bake one batch at a time in your preheated oven until the edges are lightly browned, taking around 17 to 18 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to finish cooling.
