Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in the oats, cranberries, and walnuts until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers look set.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For a chewier texture, consider underbaking by a minute. Toasting walnuts enhances their flavor. You can freeze unbaked dough balls for later use.
