• Baking soda helps puff up these cookies and give them structure. We will be using 1/2 teaspoon.

• Next up, just a pinch of salt! Salt helps enhance and bring all the flavors together.

• One egg helps to bind all the ingredients together. A room temperature egg works best as it blends nicely into the batter.

How to make white chocolate and cranberry cookies

• Now, fold in the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients just until combined. Then fold in the white chocolate and cranberries.

• Then, using a cookie scoop or a small spoon, scoop 16-18 cookies onto your baking sheet. Feel free to press extra cranberries and white chocolate into the top of each cookie.

• Finally, bake these cookies for 10-12 minutes and enjoy! Store left over cookies in an airtight container.

Frequently asked questions

What type of oat flour can I use?

I recommend using a finely ground oat flour. If you oat flour is too thick or grainy it won’t result in fluffy cookies.

Should I use blanched almond flour?

Yes! Blanched almond flour is key. Along with the oat flour, you want your almond flour to be finely ground. Blanched almond flour typically has a fine texture which makes it great for baked goods.

Can I make these cookies in advance?
Yes, follow the instructions below. Once the cookies have fully cooled, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.

Can I make homemade oat flour?

Definitely! As mentioned, just make sure it is very finely ground. The texture should resemble regular white flour. If you haven’t made your own oat flour before, it is super simple! Just add oats to a high speed blender and blend until the oats form a fine flour.

How to store white chocolate chip cranberry cookies

These cookies are best when they are stored in an airtight container. Feel free to leave them on the counter at room temperature for a few days or store them in the fridge for a week.

Additionally, these cookies are freezer friendly! Store cookies in a freezer friendly bag for 3 months (who doesn’t love having yummy treats on hand)! To enjoy these cookies out of the freezer, simply defrost them at room temperature (or in the microwave) and enjoy!

Baking with oat flour

If you haven’t baked with oat flour before, it’s pretty simple! It replaces regular flour in baked goods but, it is not a 1:1 replacement. So you have to be mindful when it comes to new recipes! Oat flour is much lighter in weight than traditional flour. So, you typically have to use more oat flour than regular flour if you’re replacing it in a recipe.

As for the baking results with oat flour, it produces really nicely textured baked goods. Another added benefit of oats is that they are loaded with whole grains, fiber and complex carbs!

Frequently asked questions

Can I substitute another time of flour?

Definitely use a finely ground oat flour! Other flours should not be substituted as they have different weights and consistency.

What type of oat flour can I use?

Use store bought oat flour. This oat flour is great! It’s a large 4 pound bag for a great price. This will ensure the cookies have a nice texture. You can also try to make your own oat flour by blending oats in a high speed blender.

Are these cookies gluten free?

Make sure you use certified gluten free oat flour as some oats can have possible cross contamination with wheat products. This oat flour is naturally gluten free.

Do I need to chill the dough?

Yes, please chill the dough/ If you don’t chill the dough the cookies will spread way too thin. These cookies do result in thinner, crispy cookies so chilling them is a must!

Are these cookies crispy?

Yes, these cookies have a nice crispy edges and chewy middles!

How to make oat flour?

Making oat flour is super easy! Grab your oats and a high speed blender. Add the oats into the blender and pulse/blend until very smooth. You want to make sure it resembles a flour-like texture when it’s done. This will ensure your baked goods have great results! Grainy oat flour can result in bad textured baked goods.

What makes these cookies healthier?

Firstly, they are made from oats and oat flour. Oats are a great source of whole grains and fiber. They are a very nutritious grain and a great source of carbohydrates. They have a great nutritional profile that can contribute to your overall health.

Avocado oil is a neutral baking oil that is high in oleic acid. Oleic acid is an unsaturated fat, which is considered a healthy fat. Unsaturated fats can play a number of beneficial roles that can contribute to your overall health.

Also, I like using these enjoy life chocolate chips. They are made with all natural ingredients and are free from common allergens and ingredients like from: gluten and wheat, peanuts, dairy, tree nuts, soy, casein, sulfites, egg, lupin, sesame, fish, mustard, crustaceans, and shellfish. You can typically dins them at your local grocery store or on Amazon!

Substitutes and variations

Find some substitutes and variations for these cookies below.

Oat flour. There are so many great store bought bags of oat flour. If your local grocery store doesn’t have oat flour offerings, Amazon has so many options! Make sure you buy fine ground oat flour as it is the best before baking. You can also make homemade oat flour by blending whole oats in a high speed blender. You want to blend them until they form into a very fine flour.

Chocolate chips. For this recipe you can use any chocolate chips you prefer. Dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips work best! But if you’re feeling like switching things up, use white chocolate!

Butter and oil. This avocado cookie recipes uses 1/4 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of avocado oil as the baking fats. If for some reason you don’t have these on hand, you can use a combination of coconut oil or another light oil. Just make sure it is a total of 1/2 cup.

Pure maple syrup. This recipe uses a bit of all natural maple syrup but you can also use honey!
