Ok, I haven’t met anyone who can eat just one of these, ok, maybe I have learned some self-discipline… I only had one at lunch while my guest had four, maybe five! They make a great gift, and they are my most popular snack food for meetings and workshops!<\/p>\n
The recipe can be found on the Ocean Spray Craisins bag (the huge 1.8 kg bag from Costco). I’ve modified the recipe a bit, reduced the sugar, and replaced the eggs with ground flax seeds for a vegan version; simply use eggs for a non-vegan version.<\/p>\n

I also use a blend of organic whole grains such as spelt, red fife, quinoa or brown rice. I like to shape them in cookie molds. If you want them to be vegan, you will have to shop for vegan white chocolate chips; I can’t find them in the stores nearby, so I use regular white chocolate chips, so technically, these are not 100% vegan. Sometimes I combine coconut oil with Earth Balance butter. Oh yeah, and one more special ingredient: love. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
\u2154 cup coconut oil or vegan butter, softened
\n\u2153 cup cane sugar
\n2 tablespoons ground flax seeds plus 1\/3 cup water (equivalent to 2 eggs)
\n1\u00bd cups rolled oats
\n1\u00bd cups flour
\n1 teaspoon baking soda
\n\u00bd teaspoon salt
\n1 teaspoon vanilla
\n1 cup dried cranberries
\n\u2154 cup white chocolate chips<\/p>\n
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
\nCombine oats, flour, baking soda and salt.
\nIn separate bowl, beat butter and sugar with mixer, or whisk until fluffy.
\nAdd flax seed mixture and vanilla; beat well.
\nStir dry ingredients into liquid; mix well.
\nStir in cranberries and chocolate chips.
\nDrop by spoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheet or parchment paper; or use cookie molds.
\nBake about 12 minutes.
\nMakes 30 to 36 cookies.<\/p>\n
Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
