Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup leftover cranberry sauce
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mix aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Stir in the cranberry sauce until it is fully incorporated into the wet mixture.
  6. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the rolled oats and any optional nuts using a spatula.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • This recipe works well with homemade or store-bought cranberry sauce.
  • For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them by one minute.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.
  • You can substitute dried cranberries for fresh if you do not have sauce, use about 3/4 cup dried cranberries and add 1 tablespoon of milk to the batter.
