oatmeal, cranberry and chocolate chunk cookies

cooookies. i was craving some milk n cookies. kicking off july with yet another crummy day for washington, waiting for our lovely summer to come! my mom made these last fall and swears by them and we had the cranberries in stock so i thought i'd give them a try.


recipe
1 c all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 c light brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 c old fashioned oats
1 c dried cranberries
1 (4-ounce) 60 percent cacao bittersweet chocolate bar (recommended: Ghirardelli), chopped into 1/4-inch chunks


preheat oven to 350 degrees. grease two cookie sheets. beat the butter and sugars together. then add the egg and vanilla. pour the dry the mixed dry ingredients into the batter then add the oats, chocolate and cranberries. scoop onto the greased sheet pans and bake for 13-15 minutes. enjoy!

nummers. this recipe comes from giada. i love her dessert recipes, they usually are pretty straight forward. this recipe made about 2 dozen; not too much batter to work with but delicious. i think the cinnamon is what makes these so good. they held their shape well and bake for just 13 minutes like she said. really good& easy to make cookies, will definitely use this recipe again. mmmm.
