Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookie Base:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups quick oats

Add-Ins:

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (toasted if desired)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  2. Mix in Flavors: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Quickly mix in the oats, pecans, and dried cranberries until fully coated.
  3. Shape the Cookies: Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon if desired. Let cool at room temperature for 30–45 minutes, or refrigerate for faster setting.
  4. Store and Enjoy: Once firm, store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

Notes

  • You can substitute walnuts for pecans and golden raisins for cranberries.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a drizzle of white chocolate on top once set.
