Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2
Place unsalted butter and light brown sugar into the work bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium-slow speed until very fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract, followed by eggs, one at a time. Reduce mixer speed to lowest speed and leave running.

Step 3
Whisk rolled oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, kosher salt, and nutmeg together in a separate bowl; gradually add oat mixture into the slowly running mixer, a 1/3 at a time. Mix in dried cranberries and nuts until just incorporated. Using a large cookie scoop, place dough on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Step 4
Bake one batch at a time in the preheated oven just until the edges are brown, 17 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.
