- Medium cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 Cup Gluten-free free quick oats
- ½ teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon Fine sea salt
- 1/4 Cup Coconut oil melted and cooled slightly
- 1/4 Cup + 1 tablespoon Coconut sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 Cup Dried cranberries
- 1/4 Cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with baking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oatmeal, baking powder, and spices.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, egg, vanilla, and milk.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until well mixed. Fold in cranberries and chocolate chips.
- Using a small or medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly apart. Using a fork, flatten cookies to desired thickness.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the plan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Make sure to use quick-cooking oats and not old-fashioned oats. Otherwise, the cookies will fall apart easily.
- Bake the cookies for 8 minutes and then check to see if they are slightly golden around the edges. They may need a couple of more minutes, depending on your oven temperature.
- Store the cookies in an airtight ziplock bag or container for up to a week at room temperature.
- For freezing the cookies, bake and wait until they are completely cooled, then place in two ziplock freezer bags. Freeze for up to 2 months and defrost at room temperature when you're ready to eat them.
