Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature, softened)
1 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups rolled oats
1 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup dry cranberries
½ cup chopped walnuts
Optional: ⅓ cup white chocolate chips (for drizzle)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the softened butter with brown sugar until very creamy. This is an essential step for the cookies to remain soft; you'll need about 5 minutes to achieve the desired texture. Then add one egg at a time and whisk well after each addition. At last, add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  • In another bowl, combine oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir well to combine.
  • Fold in cranberries and chopped walnuts and stir until combined.
  • Cover the dough and refrigerate it for one hour. (If you're going to leave it for more than one hour, it is good to pre-scoop the cookies to have them ready to bake).
  • When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the dough using a 1.5 tbsp ice cream scoop and lightly flatten the top of each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set and slightly brown on the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to the cooling rack, or they might break.
  • Optional: drizzle your cookies with melted white chocolate.

LOW FAT & SCRUMPTIOUS OATMEAL CRANBERRY COOKIES



LOW FAT & SCRUMPTIOUS OATMEAL CRANBERRY COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Low Fat

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup whole wheat or all purpose flour - plus up to ¼ cup if mixture is too thin
1 ½ cups quick cooking oats
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon ginger
other spices (allspice, pumpkin pie spice) to taste
2/3 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup Craisins (half a package)
1 egg white (3 tablespoon egg substitute)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in medium bowl. Drop mixture by tablespoonfuls or cookie scooper onto nonstick cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cool on cookie pan for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Makes approximately 3 - 3 ½ dozen small, soft cookies. Recipe is easily doubled.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats. Quick-cooking oats will make the cookies too soft. Old-fashioned rolled oats will give them a chewier texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them crisp up on the outside while staying chewy on the inside.
  • Optional:
  • Add a glaze to the cookies after they've cooled. This will give them a shiny finish and extra sweetness.

Conclusion:

These low-fat oatmeal cranberry cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different dried fruits, nuts, or seeds to create your own unique flavor combinations.
