Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies Vegan Gluten Free Recipes

CRANBERRY WALNUT OATMEAL COOKIES {GLUTEN FREE + REFINED SUGAR FREE + DAIRY FREE}

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/175C degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oats, almond meal, tapioca or arrowroot starch, coconut sugar, baking soda and sea salt. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together coconut oil, egg, and vanilla. Mix in wet ingredients into the dry until well combined, then fold in walnuts and dried cranberries. Mix with your hands until the mixture resembles oatmeal cookie dough.
• Chill dough for 30 minutes, then roll into balls (I used a standard ice cream scoop for even sized balls) and flatten with the palms of your hands (they will spread just a little bit). Repeat until you have about 17 cookies. Add to a cookie sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes or until browned around the edges and bottom. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before serving.

CRANBERRY-NUT OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Place unsalted butter and light brown sugar into the work bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium-slow speed until very fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract, followed by eggs, one at a time. Reduce mixer speed to lowest speed and leave running.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, kosher salt, and nutmeg. Pour the dry ingredients into the slowly running mixer in thirds; mix in dried cranberries and nuts until just incorporated. Using a large cookie scoop, place dough on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
• Bake one batch at a time in the preheated oven just until the edges are brown, 17 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.
