Holiday cookie recipe season is at its peak, and if you havenโ€™t made this cranberry oatmeal cookie recipe, then youโ€™re sorely missing out. Chewy, gooey, slightly crispy, and a tad crumbly, these are easy Christmas cookies!

The classic ginger cookies have always been a part of my holiday baking repertoire. So have been the oversized oatmeal cookies that I can never seem to bake enough. (I kid you not, the cookie jar is half empty within hours!)

With Christmas in the offing, I thought, "Why not mix my two loves?" Letโ€™s gingerize the oatmeal. The resulting easy oatmeal cookies with ginger were as delicious as their snappy cousin but a lot softer, chewier, and just so good!

Why We Love This Recipe

A quick and completely vegan Christmas cookie recipe

The simple oatmeal cranberry cookies are unquestionably worth gobbling up during tea time.

Refined sugar-free, these ginger cranberry cookies are a whole lot healthier and a whole lot tastier.

Their light, crisp edges and chewy middles laced with cranberries will have your hand sneaking into the cookie jar every hour.

How To Make Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

Step 1: Set the oven to preheat and line a baking tray with parchment or silpat.

Step 2: In a small bowl, combine the flax powder and water. Stir and set aside for 10โ€“15 minutes till it thickens.

Step 3: In a large bowl, sift and combine coarsely ground oats, wholewheat flour, quinoa flour, baking soda, ginger powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4: In another bowl, whisk together oil, coconut sugar, flax egg, and soy milk.

Step 5: Add the wet ingredients to the dry. Mix gently, but thoroughly.

Step 6: Fold in the cranberries, and then chill the dough for a couple of minutes so itโ€™s easier to handle.

Step 7: Roll the oatmeal cookies with cranberries into even-sized balls. Flatten them a tad and then bake for 12โ€“14 minutes or until golden.

Final step: Let the cranberry oatmeal cookies cool and then enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • Make sure that there are no lumps in the dry ingredients before the wet ingredients follow.
  • With the windy winter at full blast, youโ€™ll need to melt and cool the coconut oil when you make the oatmeal cookies with cranberry dough.
  • These are no-chill cookies, but, after kneading, if you feel the dough is too soft to handle, refrigerate it for 10โ€“15 minutes. Iโ€™ve baked these cranberry Christmas cookies enough times to know that thereโ€™s only a slight chance that youโ€™ll have to chill them.
  • Hot out of the oven, the chewy oatmeal cranberry cookies will feel a little underbaked on top. Donโ€™t worry. They firm up as they cool.
  • If you want crisper cranberry oatmeal cookies, bake for another 2 minutes.

Recipe Ingredients

Salt is the alchemist that balances everything, so donโ€™t forget to add it.

Raisins are the traditional companion to oatmeal cookies. But ordinary doesnโ€™t suit December. It demands indulgence. So, I used cranberries to add a natural, tart counterpoint to the sweetness of the dough.

Flax egg does a great job of binding the dough. Trust me on this. If youโ€™re new to the wonders of flax eggs, read my mocha biscotti blog. I rhapsodize about it to no end, and hey, you get another scrumptious recipe for the season!

Milk: I prefer baking dairy-free treats, so soy milk was my choice. But if your palate isnโ€™t cut out for soy, any other plant-based milk works just as well, or even regular milk!
