Oatmeal Raisin & Cranberry Cookies

I'm apparently on an oatmeal kick lately - muffins AND cookies. Along with running, I find baking to be quite the stress reliever. It doesn't hurt that oatmeal raisin cookies are Mr. Malone's favorite. (When is he going to start baking?!)


OATMEAL RAISIN & CRANBERRY COOKIES

3/4 C butter (1 1/2 sticks)
1 C brown sugar, packed
1/2 C granulated sugar
1 Tsp baking soda
1/4 Tsp baking powder
1/2 Tsp cinnamon (This is optional, but I went for it)
1 egg
1 Tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 C all-purpose flour
2 C rolled oats
1/2 C raisins
1/2 C dried cranberries

*Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
*In a large bowl, or KitchenAid, cream butter on medium speed.
*Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder and, if desired, cinnamon. Mix until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occassionally.
*Beat in egg and vanilla.
*Slowly add flour, making sure all ingredients are incorporated.
*Stir in oats by hand. Once combined, add raisins and cranberries.
*Place dough by rounded teaspoons onto baking sheets, leaving an inch or two in between. (The dough didn't spread very much. I was able to get 12-13 cookies per sheet.)
*Bake for 10-12 minutes and enjoy!
