These white chocolate cranberry cookies that are soft and chewy and packed with white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. With vegan, gluten-free and whole wheat options.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) flour see notes
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup (168 grams) refined coconut oil or butter for a non-vegan version
  • 1 1/3 cups (266 grams) coconut sugar or raw sugar / brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs 50 grams each out of shell; or 2 chia eggs for vegan
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups (260 grams) quick oats make sure to use gluten-free for GF
  • 3/4 cup (114 grams) dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup (85 grams) white chocolate chips make sure to use vegan chips, if wanted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
  • Stir together the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
    1 1/2 cups (190 grams) flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the melted coconut oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla and stir.
    3/4 cup (168 grams) refined coconut oil, 1 1/3 cups (266 grams) coconut sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir just until combined. Stir in the oats, cranberries and white chocolate, again stirring just until combined.
    2 3/4 cups (260 grams) quick oats, 3/4 cup (114 grams) dried cranberries, 1/2 cup (85 grams) white chocolate chips
  • Form the dough into 77-gram balls, about two inches or slightly over 1/4 cup in size, and place 4" apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press the balls down slightly with the palm of your hand. If your dough is too soft to roll into balls, refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until scoopable.
  • Bake for 13-17 minutes or until the middle appears to be set and the cookies have evenly browned. They'll still be very soft straight from the oven but firm up as they cool and sit for an hour or so. The gluten-free version might taste a bit gritty / sandy when still hot but this disappears as the cookies cool.
  • Let cool completely on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
