Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies


Thanksgiving holiday cookies- gluten free

These soft and chewy cranberry chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are a perfect treat for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Everyone expects to eat cranberries for the holiday, so why not serve the slightly tart berries in a delicious cookie ?

My little granddaughter came to visit and the first thing she said to me was, " Let's bake cookies".
I thought about what I had in my pantry and decided to bake these cranberry chocolate oatmeal cookies. It's a fairly common recipe that is sometimes made with white chocolate chips or the dark chocolate chips. I had the latter in the house.

These tasty quick and easy cookies would also make a nice addition to your Christmas Cookie repertoire.  No mixer is needed; you just stir the ingredients with a large spoon. They are very festive because they are full of red dried berries and rich chocolate. Unlike highly processed cookies, these winners are made from real food with whole grain nutrition. I always feel better serving my grandkids something that is wholesome.

In addition, these snacks meet gluten free and vegetarian standards.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 10 minutes ( don't over bake)
Oven: 350 degrees

Ingredients: 
3/4 cup of coconut flour ( or any gluten free flour)
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup of olive oil or melted coconut oil
1 1/2 cups of certified gluten free rolled oats ( I get mine at Trader Joe's)
1/2 cup of coconut crystals ( or any sweetener of your choice) ( more if you like it sweet)
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup chocolate chips (DF )
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 teaspoon of orange zest ( from an organic orange)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix dry ingredients ( coconut flour, oats,  coconut crystals, salt , baking soda, orange zest) in a small bowl.
Combine the wet ingredients ( olive oil, eggs, vanilla, orange juice)
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well with spoon.
Fold in the chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
Cover a cookie sheet ( or two) with parchment paper . Drop spoon size balls onto the paper and bake for just 10 minutes. Remove cookies and place them on wire racks to cool before eating.

My Notes: If you do not use the coconut flour and choose to use a different gluten free flour or regular flour, only use 2 eggs instead of 3. Coconut flour requires more liquid.

What is Pterygium and Pinguecula ?

[Extracted from the webpage of www.healthscout.com] A pterygium is a fleshy growth that invades the cornea (the clear front window of the eye). It is an abnormal process in which the conjunctiva (a membrane that covers the white of the eye) grows into the cornea. A pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the white of the eye, most often on the side closest to the nose. It is not a tumor but an alteration of normal tissue resulting in a deposit of protein and fat. Unlike a pterygium, a pinguecula does not actually grow onto the cornea. A pinguecula may also be a response to chronic eye irritation or sunlight. Although pterygium and pinguecula sound like mysterious, arcane diseases, they are actually quite common, usually benign eye conditions. These lesions appear as a whitish-yellowish bump or fleshy "growth" on the exposed conjunctiva. If the bump appears only on the white part of the eye, it is called a pinguecula. If it appears to "grow" onto t...

Walking Through The Fancy Animal Carnival In NYC

I went to visit my kids in NYC last week and on my walk from the train to their place I passed through the famous Garment District- It was raining, but I managed to get a few photos of some of the new sculptures in the " Fancy Animal Carnival " by Taiwanese artist Hung Yi. I don't usually share my outings, but with so many visiting NYC over the holidays, I thought these might be of interest. Garment District Free Art Show through April 2016 The Carnival , which starts around 41st street and ends on 37th street, features eleven large to life whimsical statues each symbolic of bringing luck!  The statues are extremely colorful and big!!
