1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Blend together oats, flour, raisins, cranberries, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.

Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg, cinnamon and vanilla; beat until combined. Gradually add oat mixture; beat until combined.

Combine raisins for topping in a separate bowl and set aside.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart onto two baking sheets.
