01
Step 1
Start by sifting together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Pour this mixture into a clean 4-cup glass jar. Next, add the brown sugar and superfine sugar in layers, pressing down firmly after each one so everything fits nicely. Then layer the oats, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips on top. Seal the jar tightly.

Step 2
When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Dump the dry mix from the jar into a large bowl, then add the butter, egg, and vanilla. Stir everything together until it forms a soft dough.

Step 3
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Pop them in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
