vegan cranberry cookies

These chewy, melt-in-your-mouth vegan cranberry cookies with pistachios are perfect for the holidays. Made with almond flour, almond butter, and maple syrup, they&#039;re gluten-free and oil-free.  You&#039;ll want to make them again and again throughout the holiday season.

Vegan Cranberry Cookies with Pistachios

Flour

coconut sugar

tsp baking soda

tsp salt

Raw Almond Butter

Organic Pure Maple Syrup

Unsweetened Original Almond Milk

tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Cranberries (reduced sugar)

Pistachios (shelled and chopped)

oats

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.  That is normal.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients, rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients, almond butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract.

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. The dough will be very sticky.

Fold in the cranberries and pistachios. Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes.

Using a tablespoon cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out about one tablespoon of the cookie dough and place it on the parchment-lined cookie sheets two inches apart.

Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown. Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. 

These cranberry orange pinwheel cookies are the perfect sweet &amp; slightly tart cookie for any occasion!

Vegan Cranberry Orange Pinwheel Cookies

vegan butter

sugar

Tablespoon orange zest

Tablespoon ground flaxseed (must be ground not whole)

orange juice

all-purpose flour

cranberries

First, make the orange cookie dough. Add the vegan butter, sugar, and orange zest to a large bowl and cream together until light &amp; fluffy (about 1 minute). Then, add in the orange juice and ground flax seed and cream together for another 30 seconds.

Add in the flour and mix until a thick cookie dough forms. The cookie dough will be relatively thick, but it should not be crumbly so keep mixing until it holds together.

Add the cookie dough to a sheet of parchment paper. Then, layer another sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough. Use a rolling pin to roll the cookie dough between the two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle about ½ inch thick in height.

Once the dough is rolled out, make the cranberry filling by adding the frozen cranberries, sugar, and orange zest to a blender or food processor. Blend until the cranberries have been finely chopped and are evenly mixed with the sugar. 

Remove the top layer of parchment paper from the cookie dough and add the cranberry filling on top. It is very important to add the filling while it is still cold for the best results.

Then, carefully roll the dough into a log. Press the dough edges together to seal. If the dough cracks at all while you roll it up, lightly press it back together and continue rolling. Also, make sure not to let the filling ooze out of the sides of the dough as you roll it up.

Next, lay a new sheet of parchment paper on top of a baking tray and place the cookie dough  log on top. Place the tray with the log in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to solidify before cutting. 

While the dough is in the freezer, preheat the oven to 350F. Then, remove the dough from the fridge, place it on a cutting board, and slice it into 16 cookie slices that are about 1/2 inches thick.

Lay the cookie slices onto the parchment-lined baking tray, making sure to leave space between each cookie. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until firm and very lightly browned (too browned will mean you overcooked them and cooking time will vary on how thick you cut the cookie slices).

Remove the baked cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes. Then, remove and place onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

Once the cookies have cooled make the (optional) glaze. Add the orange juice and sifted powdered sugar to a small bowl and whisk together until a thick glaze forms.

Then, drizzle the glaze over the cookies. Let the glaze harden for 1-2 minutes, then serve!

Made a bunch of different cookies for xmas to share with family and these were the favorite, hands down.  I'm sure they'll be coming with me to lots of other events in the future!
