# Directions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
03 -
Add the egg to the creamed mixture and beat well. Then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt until well combined.
05 -
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed, just until combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.
06 -
Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 -
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
08 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set but still soft and chewy.
09 -
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the butter is at room temperature to achieve a smooth and fluffy batter.
