1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and lightly grease the cookie sheets.

3. In the large bowl, mix the butter, sugar, and vanilla with the electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

4. Pour the flour mixture into the large bowl and continue mixing with the electric mixer until dough forms.

5. With a spoon, gently stir in the oats and pecans. If you decide to use the dried cranberries, add them now.

6. Using a tablespoon, scoop up balls of dough and place them on the cookie sheets 2 inches apart.

7. Bake in the oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

8. Carefully remove the cookies from the oven with the pot holders. Let them sit for one minute.
