Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Combine flours, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
Add the butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl and use a handheld electric mixer on medium speed to cream the two together for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla and beat again for another 30 seconds until incorporated.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and use the electric mixer on a low speed to combine. Alternatively, you can do this by hand with a spatula.
Gently fold in the cranberries and chocolate chips until well mixed.
Using a medium cookie dough scoop, scoop the cookie batter out onto the prepared baking sheets in heaping spoonfuls. You can roll them a bit in your hands to make them more of a ball shape.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until slightly golden on top. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
—See tip in the post above about getting the perfect circular cookie shape when the cookies come out of the oven.—The cooke dough can also be made in a stand mixer using the paddle attachment.
