There’s nothing better than starting the Holidays with some Healthy White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies! I could say… COOKIES are my favorite dessert! Because they are like a “grab and go” treat and it’s impossible to not eat more than one.

These Cranberry Cookies I made, are unbelievably delicious. The combination of the cranberries (infused with blueberries) and white chocolate chips were an explosion to my taste buds!

It’s perfect for that extra sweet craving you get during Christmas. Honestly, highly recommended to give it a try!

Why you will love these cookies

• I replaced the ingredients with better quality ones: Like, the butter with coconut oil, the sugar with coconut sugar and the white flour for oat flour.
• I reduced the amount of sugar and fats: And my version is still delicious!
• It’s HIGH in fiber: Because the only flour I added was oats + more rolled oats! So, you won’t only get indulged, it will also keep you satisfied!

What you need to make a perfect treat for the Holidays

• Oat flour – which is blended rolled, old fashioned, quick oats. Feel free to use any kind of oats.
• Rolled Oats – If Gluten-Free just make sure to choose a brand that is certified.
• Almond flour – Use superfine almond flour, not almond meal!
• Pecans – I bought whole pecans but then crushed them in the food processor for 5 seconds in three intervals. You may want to have little pieces.
• Salt – Adding a pinch of salt on desserts, make them enhance their flavor.
• Baking powder
• Cranberries – I added dried cranberries infused with blueberry juice because they help with the sweetness instead of having a sour flavor in it.
• Coconut sugar – Replacement for brown sugar. Actually a healthier alternative for its low glicemic index.
• Vanilla extract – For that special hint of vanilla flavor.
• Egg – One large egg.
• Coconut oil – Substitute for butter. I added melted coconut oil.

The Instructions

• Preheat oven at 180C (350F)
• Prepare – Gather and measure all the ingredients by starting to mix coconut oil and coconut sugar first. Therefore add-in the egg, vanilla extract and stir until well combined.
• In another separate bowl, mix oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, almond flour and salt in a bowl. Then add them to the wet ingredients including the crushed pecans, white chocolate chips and cranberries.
• Roll – Roll into 2-inch ball, using an ice cream scoop to make them all the same size. Should yield around 12 small balls.
• Bake – Line a tray with parchment paper or grease with coconut oil. Place the raw cookies and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.

Tips to make the BEST White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

Following the correct order of adding and mixing ingredients to make cookies can interfere with their final result. Some of them could be flat, chewy, crunchy, soft, or hard! In this case, these cookies are soft-crunchy at the same time. Here are some tips to make the cookies exactly as I did:

• Mix coconut sugar and coconut oil: Coconut sugar is more coarse than white or brown sugar that’s why you may have to slightly dissolve with a liquid first. In this case, stiring with the coconut sugar.
• Add DRY to WET ingredients: Use a spoon to mix everything up. Batter must be thick!
• Crush pecans: In a food processor crush whole pecans for 5 seconds in 3 intervals. No more than that! You may want to leave small pieces. They are key for a crunchy cookie!

Storing tips

These cookies are so delicious that I don’t think you will have to store them for a long time. But in case you do, here are some tips:

• To store: Store in an airlight container at room temperature up to 2-3 days. Therefore, store in the fridge for up to 14 days. For a longer storage put in the freezer for up to a month.
• To eat: If stored in the fridge, consume immediately. Otherwise, if stored in the freezer. Let thaw for 30 minutes and eat straight.
