Healthy Cranberry Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Food

OATMEAL, CRANBERRY AND CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. With the machine running, gradually add the flour mixture. Add the oats, cranberries and chocolate chunks. Mix until just incorporated (dough will be stiff). Using a 4-ounce cookie scoop, scoop slightly rounded mounds of the dough into 12 (2-inch-diameter) balls. Arrange 6 balls of dough, spaced evenly apart, on each baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, flatten the tops slightly and bake until the cookies are slightly golden on the edges, about 13 to 15 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes before serving.

HEALTHY OATMEAL CRANBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix Splenda, Egg whites, Applesauce and Vanilla together.
• Add Flour, Baking Soda, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg.
• Stir in Oatmeal, Cranberries, Nuts, and Chocolate.
• Drop by rounded tablespoonful on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (if you do not have parchment paper, spray cookie sheet with cooking spray).
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
• Special Note: Depending on what kind of flour you use, you may need to use more applesauce. If, after adding the oatmeal, the batter seems dry, add applesauce.
• For a Change: Occasionally I like to also add 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips to this recipe.

HEALTHY WALNUT (OR CHOCOLATE) CRANBERRY OATMEAL CHEWY COOKIES

Steps:

• In a dry saucepan on medium, toast the walnuts (if using) and oats together until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat margarine(at room temp) and applesauce with brown sugar until light and fluffy (with electric beaters).
• add egg whites, brown rice syrup, and vanilla and beat until smooth, about a minute.
• In a smaller bowl, combine flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
• Mix into creamed mixture. Stir in oats, walnuts (or chocolate chips), and craisins.
• Chill dough for 30 minutes.
• Drop dough on parchment paper-covered cookie sheet (dont flatten tops).
• Bake at 330° F 12-15 minutes or until spread out and very lightly browned. They will be flat and the tops will have small bubble pockets, and though they may look soft and not done, they are! Allow cookies to cool slightly then place cookies on cooling rack. Use a very good spatchula or else they will be tricky to get off the pan without breaking!
• Cookies will be quite delicate and slightly sticky (especially when hot), so when you store them, be sure their edges arn't touching eachother and use wax paper to line between the layers. ENJOY!

• Add the cinnamon, baking soda, salt and flour and mix well.
• Fold in the oatmeal, dried cranberries and white chocolate chips- making sure that all ingredients are uniformly distributed.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 3 inches apart onto a greased cookie sheet and bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes, just until the edges are lightly golden.
• Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer cookies to cooling rack.

• In a medium size bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg; add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture.

OATMEAL WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP CRANBERRY COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time and stir in the vanilla.
• 2. In separate bowl, mix flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture slowly so it's perfectly integrated.
• 3. Add oatmeal one cup at a time and stir in until well-combined. I find this step is easier to do sometimes with a big wooden spoon instead of with the Kitchenaid mixer. The mixer sometimes gets overwhelmed by the heft of the oatmeal!
• 4. Add white chocolate and cranberries and mix well. Let refrigerate for half an hour.
• 5. Place walnut-sized balls on lightly greased baking sheet. These don't flatten out much so if you like a flatter cookie, flatten with a fork dipped in sugar (or the palm of your hand!). Bake at 375 for 8 minutes. They will come out looking really doughy, but they stiffen as they cool. 8 minutes results in a perfectly chewy cookie.
