How to Make Oatmeal Orange Craisin 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 unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon almond extract.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup orange juice and 1 tablespoon orange zest. Heat over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool slightly.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 cup craisins.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
