Try it out~ easy, tasty and healthy~

1. In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream the butter and sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2 - 3 minutes).
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
4. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat until incorporated.
5. Stir in the nuts, oats, and dried cranberries or chocolate chips.

• For large cookies, use 1/4 cup of batter (I like to use an ice cream scoop) and space the cookies about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the baking sheet.
• Then wet your hand and flatten the cookies slightly with your fingers so they are about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick.
• Bake the cookies for about 12 - 15 minutes, or until light golden brown around the edges but still soft in the centers.
• Remove from oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
