Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • Zest of 1 large orange (about 1½ tbsp)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups quick oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ΒΌ tsp cinnamon (a couple of shakes)
  • 1 cup Craisins
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. Set aside.
  3. With a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
  4. Add the egg, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated.
  5. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Next, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet batter mixture. Mix until well combined. The batter will still be wet-like after combing the two mixtures.
