Servings 1 -1/2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened (1 stick)
- 1 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1-1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons half-and-half cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place butter and sugar in the bowl of a large stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla to bowl and mix until smooth.
- Add oats, flour, baking soda, spices, and salt to mixer and mix on medium speed until dough comes together. (dough will be slightly sticky) Gently stir in cranberries.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough into 1-in balls and place on prepared baking sheets 1-2 inches apart. Bake cookies at 350F 9-10 minutes or until edges are golden (cookies will appear underdone in the middle---this ok) Cool cookies 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk all glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzly. Drizzle glaze over slightly-cooled cookies and let set 10 minutes. Enjoy!
