Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. In another bowl, sift together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in the chopped pecans and dried cranberries until evenly distributed.
6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
7. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers to give them a nice shape.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
