Healthy Cookies = Best Dessert

I’m a cookie (or two) a day kind of girl. Our Monster Cookies might be #1 on my list but our Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies and Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are a close 2nd and 3rd. I typically keep at least a batch or two of cookies in my freezer at all times so that I have easy access to a healthier sweet treat after dinner. These White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies are the perfect freezable cookie that you’re going to love!

Simple Ingredients

When it comes to making cookies healthier, we’re all about keeping the integrity of the cookie but making it better for you. This is why you’ll notice we still use butter and sugar…just not as much as classic cookie recipes.

What do these cookies taste like?

These cranberry oatmeal cookies are slightly buttery and sweet with a strong classic oatmeal cookie taste. Since they’re flavored with white chocolate chips and cranberries they take on a bit of those flavors too!

Can I make these gluten-free?

Try swapping the white whole wheat flour for an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend to make these cookies gluten-free. Don’t forget to use certified gluten-free oats.

Can I make these vegan?

Unfortunately, we don’t recommend swapping the egg for a flax egg, only because we haven’t tested it ourselves!

4 Delish Flavor Variations

The base of these oatmeal cookies ROCK, which is why you can swap the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries out for so many different things! Some of our faves include:

Don’t Overcook:

Keep the enter of these cookies chewy and be careful not to overcook!

Make them pretty: 

Add a few white chocolate chips to the top of the dough before baking to make sure they’re “pretty” after baking. You can even sprinkle with some coarse sea salt for an extra touch!

Storage for Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

Store oatmeal cookies in an airtight glass container on the counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Freezer Instructions

Let cookies cool completely after removing them from the oven. Then, Place back onto a baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes. This will help prevent the cookies from sticking together. Once the cookies have hardened a bit, transfer them into a freezer-safe gallon-size bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
