- 1 cup Butter
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Eggs

- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 2 cups Rolled Oats

Using a stand mixer or by hand, whip softened butter and add sugar, creaming together.

Sift flour and baking soda together.

Slowly add flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring just enough to incorporate, but no more.

Add oats and mix.
-
Add cranberries and mix until just incorporated, scraping sides of the bowl to be sure all is combined evenly.
-
Cover prepared dough and refrigerate for 30 min.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of chilled dough and roll into a 1 1/2"-2" ball. Press dough balls somewhat flat with a fork. Sprinkle with decorative sugar.
