Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Raw turbinado sugar or jaggery
  • 1.5 tablespoon agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon flax meal
  • 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 1.5 tablespoon roasted almond butter (Homemade nut butter recipes)
  • 1 tablespoon Organic sunflower Oil or coconut oil (coconut oil will add a slight coconutty taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder

  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup oats or more as needed

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix the flax meal and hot water and let sit for a minute.
  • Add in the room temperature almond butter, oil, sugar and agave syrup and mix well by hand or by hand mixer until the mixture feels light. The almond I used was store bought and it takes a while to mix up.
  • Add in 1/2 cup oats, salt, cinnamon powder and lemon juice and a little flour(1/4 cup) and mix till just about combined. 
  • Add in more oats and flour if needed to get gooey muffin mixture kind of consistency, Or a very sticky dough. If you added too much flour or oatmeal and the mixture looks like a stiff dry dough, then add in a little oil and or lemon juice to make it gooey. (If the dough is stiff and not sticky, the cookies might come out too hard). Fold in cranberries
  • Oil hands or tablespoon and pick up tablespoon full dough, drop them and flatten on parchment paper. Thinner the better.!
  • Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 10-11 minutes(add minutes depending on the thickness of the cookie). The cookies should Not be runny or liquidy. 
  • They might look wet because of the shiny oil, but check with toothpick to confirm they are not squishy. They cook quite easily esp because there is no egg!
  • Take cookies off baking tray and cool on rack for a few minutes!
  • Store in airtight container for a week or so. Let me know how yours turn out!
