Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Stir in the quick oatmeal, semisweet chocolate chips, and soaked cranberries.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
