I must admit, I am definitely not a trained baker. Baking is a science, and vegan baking is a whole other skill. I was craving Cranberry Oatmeal cookies and wanted to make them super healthy, so I thought I’d give it that ole college try. After researching dozens of vegan cookie recipes and after 3 tries, I finally did it! These cookies are “the bomb!” The search is over! I don’t think you’ll find a more delicious and healthy plant-based cookie than this one.
