Ingredients
1/2cup(113gr)unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3cup(85gr)confectioners' sugar
1egg yolk
1/2tspvanilla extract
3/4cup(90gr)cake flour
3tbsp(25gr)cornstarch
1/4tspbaking powder
1/4tspsalt
1cup(100gr)quick cooking/instant oats
1/2cup(70gr)dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 320F/160°C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mat.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and confectioners' sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy.
Add egg yolk and vanilla. Beat the mixture until well combined.
Sift in cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Beat on low speed just until combined. Don't overmix.
Add oats and dried cranberries. Mix with a spatula until combined.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Arrange the balls onto the prepared pan, leaving about 2 1/2 inch/6.5 cm of space between the cookies.
Flatten the dough ball with a fork. Make sure the flattened dough still has at least 1 inch/2.5 cm of space between because the cookies will spread a little during baking.
Bake the cookies for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Transfer the cookies immediately onto a cooling rack and cool them completely before transferring them into an airtight container.
