Haeda's Oatmeal Craisin Breakfast Cookies

Healthy home made oatmeal craisin breakfast cookies! I made up this recipe while I was in my first year of college and these made great healthy morning snacks. This makes around 16 cookies.

• Ready In: 19 mins
• Yields: 16 cookies

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2  tablespoons brown sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄2 cup 2% low-fat milk
• 2  tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1  large egg
• 9  tablespoons flax seed meal
• 1⁄3 cup hot water
• 1 1⁄4 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1  cup whole wheat flour
• 3⁄4 cup dried sweetened cranberries
• 1⁄2 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Directions

1. -Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit (or 375 for crispy outer edges on cookies).
2. -Pour the hot or very warm water and oat meal into a cup or small bowl. Set aside. You do not have to mix it-- some of the oat meal will not be softened by the water. This step will give a smoother texture to the cookies.
3. -Whisk brown and white sugars, cinnamon, vanilla, milk, grape seed oil or extra virgin olive oil, egg, and flax seed meal in a bowl.
4. -Mix while pouring in the cranberries, sweetened shredded coconut, and quick cooking outs. Once the mixture looks more even, gradually add the flour while continually stirring.
5. -Place large rounded tablespoonfuls of batter onto baking parchment paper or greased baking pan (batter should be gooey, sticky, thick) 1 inch apart.
6. -Bake for approximately 12 minutes or until lightly brown.
