Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk + 1-2 tablespoons, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup cookie butter (such as Biscoff)
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, sugar, salt, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir occasionally as the ingredients melt together.
  • Allow the mixture to come to a boil, then stir constantly while it boils for two minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add the cookie butter to the pan, stirring well until it's melted and no lumps remain.
  • Add the oats, stirring quickly to coat, followed by the dried cranberries. Stir to combine.
  • Working quickly, use a cookie scoop to scoop the mixture out by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. If the mixture seems too dry or crumbly, stir in more milk, 1-2 teaspoons at a time, to loosen the mixture. Don't worry if it looks a little bit wet or sticky--it will dry and firm up as the cookies cool.
  • Once the cookies have been scooped out, allow them to cool completely. You can transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator if you want to speed up the process.

Notes

  • I used Biscoff brand cookie butter.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-5 days.
