- Toss all the ingredients into a large bowl. Make the flax egg (egg replacement if you cannot eat eggs) and set aside for 5 minutes or until it forms a gel-like consistency. Add the egg replacement to the dough and mix well.
- Portion the dough onto golf ball sized cookies onto the baking sheet and bake away.
- EAT!
Note: I’ve included a recipe for chocolate drizzle to be used just before serving if you would like to make your cookies a little fancier.
These healthy oatmeal cranberry cookies are just as delicious if you use dried cherries instead of cranberries so feel free to swap them in if desired.
If you don’t love chocolate, these cookies would be just as good if you swap the chocolate chips for your favorite chopped nuts.
Gluten-free cookies are ideal for the holidays so you can wrap these up in parchment paper with a red ribbon and bring them to your holiday parties.
