Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter, softened at room temperature
- 1 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup dried cranberry

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare a large baking sheet.. In large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue to mix until creamy, about 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and all the spices. Stir the dry ingredients into the cookie batter with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add the oats, cranberry, pecans and chocolate and stir again until everything is uniformly combined.
- Form medium-sized cookies using 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie. Place them about 1-1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven at 350F for 12 to 14 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Remove them from oven and pan and onto cooling racks to cool.
- If desired, melt an additional 1/2 cup chocolate chips over double boiler or in the microwave, then place into disposable pastry bag and drizzle chocolate over the cookies. Let the chocolate set completely before storing in airtight container.
