Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, divided
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ¾ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups quick-cooking oatmeal
  • ½ cup dried cranberries

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9" × 13" baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars. Beat in 1 egg. In another bowl, sift the baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the flour.
  • Add the flour to the butter mixture, blending thoroughly. Stir in the oatmeal and dried cranberries. If the cookie dough is too dry, beat in the remaining egg.
