How to Make Double Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup rolled oats, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup dried cranberries, ½ cup sunflower seeds, ½ cup dark chocolate chips, and ½ cup milk chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet (to catch drips) to cool completely.
  10. While the cookies are cooling, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-4 tablespoons milk or water, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add more liquid, a teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency for drizzling.
  11. Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the icing over them using a fork for a rustic look.
