Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 24 Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups oats
  • 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 5 tablespoons of vegetable-oil based stick suitable for baking (such as I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat.

Combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.

Place vegetable-oil-based stick and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix well. Add vanilla and corn syrup and mix until blended.

Gradually add flour and oats mixture, stir with a wooden spoon until blended. Fold in cranberries and mini chocolate chips.
