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
I made a few changes to a recipe on the back of a canister of oats. Now this is the only one I use. I often use hazelnuts in place of the pecans, and they are just as good. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. You can make these larger or smaller; simply adjust the baking time. Keep loosely covered, and they will maintain their chewiness for several days, if they last that long.

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.

DRIED CRANBERRY-WALNUT OATMEAL COOKIES
This is the best cranberry oatmeal cookie I've ever tasted. Slightly crisp on the outside, but oh so chewy on the inside. I can't believe it hasn't been posted yet! It's from the Crisco site. Note: If you use old-fashioned oats, the cookies will come out crisper and less moist; If you use quick oats, the cookies will be chewier and more moist. Also, bake until cookies are *just* set, where the center of the cookie still looks a little wet.

Tips:
- Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
- Oats: Use gluten-free rolled oats to ensure the cookies are gluten-free.
- Vegan Butter: If you don't have vegan butter, you can use coconut oil or mashed avocado as a substitute.
- Sweetener: You can adjust the amount of maple syrup or coconut sugar depending on your desired sweetness level.
- Nuts: Feel free to use other nuts like almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts instead of walnuts.
- Cranberries: Dried cranberries add a tart and chewy texture to the cookies. You can also use raisins or chopped dried cherries.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cookies in the oven as they can burn easily. The edges should be golden brown, and the centers should be set but still slightly soft.
