  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Fold in the oats, cranberries, and pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden on the edges and soft in the center.
  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
