-
16 cookies
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⁄2 cup 2% low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 9 tablespoons flax seed meal
- 1⁄3 cup hot water
- 1 1⁄4 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3⁄4 cup dried sweetened cranberries
- 1⁄2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
directions
- -Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit (or 375 for crispy outer edges on cookies).
- -Pour the hot or very warm water and oat meal into a cup or small bowl. Set aside. You do not have to mix it-- some of the oat meal will not be softened by the water. This step will give a smoother texture to the cookies.
- -Whisk brown and white sugars, cinnamon, vanilla, milk, grape seed oil or extra virgin olive oil, egg, and flax seed meal in a bowl.
- -Mix while pouring in the cranberries, sweetened shredded coconut, and quick cooking outs. Once the mixture looks more even, gradually add the flour while continually stirring.
- -Place large rounded tablespoonfuls of batter onto baking parchment paper or greased baking pan (batter should be gooey, sticky, thick) 1 inch apart.
- -Bake for approximately 12 minutes or until lightly brown.

Good recipe! I used unsweetened coconut and added liquid stevia for a bit more flavor. I like that there is not very much sugar in this recipe, I try to keep it to a minimum.
