Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs and the vanilla extract. Mix them together.

Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into the batter and mix well.

Stir in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and crushed pecans.

Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape.

Use a small ice cream scooper to scoop out the portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
