Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you're planning to bake the cookies right away, prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the old fashioned oats until evenly mixed. Set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4
Add the beaten eggs to the butter mixture and mix thoroughly. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then incorporate the honey and pure vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
5
Gradually add the flour mixture in two batches, mixing until just combined each time.
6
Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7
If you prefer to bake later, transfer the cookie dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Shape it into a log, wrap it tightly, and freeze until you're ready to bake.
8
To bake immediately, scoop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the centers are soft and not wet to the touch.
10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
