- Transfer them to a wire rack and let it cool down completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- All ingredients to be at room temperature.
- Highly recommend to rest the dough for 10-15 minutes – this allows the dry mixture to absorb the wet mixture and become more cohesive.
- These cookies do not spread while baking, be sure to flatten your cookie dough before popping the tray in the oven.
- You can also add nuts of your choice. I have added chocolate chips too along with the cranberries.
- You may use other dried fruits like blueberries, cherries or dried prunes etc.
- You may substitute coconut oil with butter or ghee.
- You may substitute coconut milk with any dairy milk or almond milk.
- You may substitute whole wheat flour with all purpose flour or any healthier flour.
- Coconut sugar may be substituted with refined sugar or healthier sweeteners like cane sugar, jaggery or brown sugar.
- ☆ Each oven reacts differently so baking time may differ since the temperature varries from oven to oven. Keep a check from 15 minutes onwards.
