Vegan Oatmeal Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 flax eggs ((2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp water, whisked together, set for 10 minutes))
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups oat flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries (chopped)
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free*)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.
2. Add the wet ingredients to the mixing bowl: coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, flax eggs, and pure vanilla. Mix until thoroughly combined.
3. Mix until you get a sticky and thoroughly combined ball of soft dough. Add in cranberries and chocolate chips.
4. Cover the bowl of oatmeal cookie dough. Let sit for 5-10 minutes on the countertop or table—this allows the dry mixture to absorb the wet mixture and become more cohesive.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of oatmeal cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Use a fork to flatten cookies into a circle—the cookies will not spread during baking.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow the vegan oatmeal cranberry cookies to cool completely before eating.
