There are few cookies easier and faster to prepare than these cranberry cookies. In the oven they need only 10 minutes.
And on top of that, they are also quite healthy. Because we simply do without household sugar and white flour. We take oatmeal, wholemeal flour and Birch sugar*.

If you want to sin a little, you can stir a little white chocolate into the dough. However, you must then reduce the amount of sugar.

What you need to know about these cranberry cookies
It is very important that you do not forget the orange zest. They give the cookies a really delicious aroma.
Buy an organic orange for this! As an alternative for the real vanilla bean you can take 1 tsp vanilla flavoring.
To make sure the flavor of the cranberries is evenly distributed among all the cookies, chop them up.
It tastes best when they are only about 1/4 of the original size.
Don't let the cranberry cookies out of your sight. They get dark very quickly. In my oven, I have to turn the baking sheet after 5 minutes because it bakes very lopsided.
So better always keep an eye on it.
Orange fan? Make jam from the fruit!
If the cranberry cookies are baked too long, they will become very dry and hard. They are ready when they still feel very soft in the middle.
When cooling on the hot tray, they still pull a little and are then perfect.
PS: Cranberry cookies are ideal for those who have to fight with bladder infections every now and then. Cranberries contain extracts that strengthen our kidneys and bladder. So why not enjoy them as cookies for a change? :)
This way you won't get bladder infections anymore!
Our conclusion
Well, and how do you like the cranberry cookies? Simply delicious, right? Nice and soft, tart and sweet at the same time. I'm all over the place and am about to bake another batch for the office.
Enjoy it!
