Calories: 210kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup cane sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest of whole large orange
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 2 cups rolled oats or quick oats
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour or almond meal
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries or 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries*
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add an egg, sugar, orange zest, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute. Add melted butter and whisk to combine.
- Stir in oats and almond flour until combined. Then stir in cranberries and white chocolate chips. Let cookie dough sit for 5 minutes.
- Using large cookie scoop, scoop dough, place on prepared baking sheet 1-inch apart (cookies do not spread much) and flatten with fingers into a cookie shape, about 1" thick.
- Bake for 13 minutes or until cookies start to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool off for another 30 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store: Store in a cool dry place for up to 5 days uncovered, otherwise cookies will become too soft.
- Freeze: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw on a counter for a few hours.
- *Cranberries: If you use fresh or frozen cranberries, sugar amount will drop to 5 grams per each cookie. They also will be a bit more wet but still good.
- Update 2025: Recipe very mildly updated December 2025 to improve texture. New photos as well.
