  My #foodiemonday #bloghop #cookie entry for this Monday..
Ingredients:

3/4 cup All-purpose flour

1/2 tsp Baking soda

1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder

1/4 tsp Sea salt

1/2 cup Butter (room temperature)

1/2 cup Light brown sugar (packed)

2 Tbsp Granulated sugar

1 large Egg (room temperature)

1 tsp Vanilla

1 cups Rolled oats

1/2 cup Dried cranberries

1/2 cup Chopped pecans

Method:

* In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

* In the another mixing bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars on med-high until pale and fluffy (approx. 3 minutes).

* Add egg and beat on high for 1 minute.

 

* Add vanilla.

* Turn mixer to low and add flour mixture, mix until combined.

* Add oats, cranberries, and pecans.

 

* Mix until just combined.

 

* Chill dough in the fridge for at least an hour.

* Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a Silpat sheet.

* Using a small cookie scoop, place cookies on baking sheet 2" apart. I did 11 cookies per sheet. Press cookies down slightly if desired (I didn't).

* Bake for 10mins or until edges are lightly browned but center is still soft and unset.

* Cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.

* Enjoy them anytime.

Notes:
--If you prefer your cookies to be less puffy, just press down on the tops a bit before putting them into the oven.  
-- You can add your choice of dry-fruits in this recipe too, just like almonds, raisins, chocolate chips or any other..
