- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

- Drain the water from the bowl of cranberries. Add the cranberries and chocolate chips to the cookie dough and stir to combine.1 cup dark chocolate chips
- Use a 2 tablespoon sized cookie scoop and portion the dough onto the large baking sheet. It's ok if the dough is close together. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and transfer to the baking sheet to the refrigerator to chill for 45 minutes.
- While the dough is in the refrigerator, line 1 to 2 additional baking sheets and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Transfer a few of the chilled dough portions about 2 inches apart of the prepared baking sheets, press down slightly, and dot with chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until the edges are brown and the tops are golden brown. The centers should be almost set with only a little bit of shine visible.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
