Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350º. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer) cream butter and sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2-3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixer and beat until combined. Stir in the nuts, oats and dried cranberries or raisins or chocolate chips
For large cookies, use 1/2 cup of batter (I like to use a ice cream scoop) and space the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Then wet your hand and flatten the cookies slightly with your fingers so they are about 1/2 inch thick. Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes. or until golden brown around the edges but still soft and a little wet in the centers. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool. |
