Dark Chocolate, Walnut, Coconut, and Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
Do you know the perfect treat with a slab of watermelon on a hot summer's eve? It's a sweet, chunky, chocolatey, vegan coconut cranberry oatmeal cookie. Really, it's a meal in itself.
You could even call these little dears "breakfast cereal". What an energy boost.
Who wouldn't eat oatmeal, applesauce, coconut, cranberries, walnuts for breakfast? These are perfect.
Take them camping, to the beach, to the pool, to your neighbor's picnic...you get the idea. They are good anytime, anywhere.
Frozen cranberries really lend the best flavor {especially if you like things tart}, but we have tried this recipe with dried, sweetened cranberries and found it to be just as delightful. There are many ways to adapt this recipe -- you can make it just right for you!
