Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
  2. Place the dried cranberries and 1/4 cup of water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely and microwave for 2 minutes until the water is absorbed and cranberries are plump.
  3. Remove the cranberries from the microwave and let them stand for 1 minute. Drain any remaining liquid and set aside to cool.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and creamy.
  5. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated.
  7. Stir in the quick oatmeal, semisweet chocolate chips, and the prepared cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
