Yield: about 24 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
  3. 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  4. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  5. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  6. 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
  7. 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  8. 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  9. 2 large eggs
  10. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  11. 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  12. 1 1/4 cups dried cranberries
  13. 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  14. 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Whisk the flour, apple pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the oats and cranberries with a wooden spoon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 2-inch balls and arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets; press with a spatula to flatten. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden but the centers are still soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Slide the cookies from the parchment onto racks to cool completely.
  3. Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners’ sugar and milk in a medium bowl. Drizzle on the cookies; let set 5 minutes.

Very soft and chewy. I substituted cinnamon for apple pie spice.

I too made my cookies smaller because I ended up with 48. However, these are delicious!! Next time I will make them bigger in hopes of a fatter cookie. After icing them, they look so yummy and can’t wait to share with coworkers.

Amazing cookies!

These cookies are delicious, even when over-baked into “crunchy oatmeal-cranberry cookies.” I guess I made them too small because I ended up with 48. When I make them again, I won’t bother with the glaze. Made with 2% milk it doesn’t even show up on the cookies. They’re delicious without it. A great addition to my cookie recipe collection.
