Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C.
Line with parchment a baking sheet. In a medium size bowl mix together flour, oats and baking powder.
Beat together the butter, shortening, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and salt. Beat in the egg, again beating until smooth. Add the flour mix and beat until well incorporated. Add the cranberries and stir to combine.
Drop the cookies by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2″/ 5cm apart and flattening the balls slightly with the bottom of a glass.
Bake the cookies for 16 to 18 minutes or until they will start color all over. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool right on the pan.
