Gluten free cranberry chocolate chip cookie recipe

I’d like to introduce you to Jackie, the talented lady behind La Casa de Sweets. She’s going to share a recipe with us today – and does it look delicious! Yum.

Hi, everyone!  I’m super excited to be guest posting for Kelly during her 12 days of gluten free cookies.  My family and I switched over to a gluten free lifestyle this year when we discovered my youngest daughter and I are gluten intolerant.  Of course, one of the first things I was worried about was creating gluten free versions of all our favorite holiday treats.

I soon realized, being gluten free doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice anything when it comes to holiday sweets, and these cranberry coconut chocolate chip cookies prove it.

I’ve recently become a cranberry fanatic, and I know I’m not the only one! Cranberries seem to be on everyone’s holiday menus these days, so why not use fresh cranberries in cookies, too?

Ruby red fresh cranberries are absolutely gorgeous when peeking through a cookie.  Add shredded coconut and chocolate chips, and you’ve got yourself a great holiday cookie!  Using oat flour and a bit of cornstarch means you can make these cookies without any additives, and you can even make them vegan.  Awe-some.

This holiday season, cranberries aren’t just for the dinner table.

Can you use fresh cranberries in baked goods?

Yes, you can use fresh cranberries in baked goods. They will add a pretty pop of color to your cookie. Read about how to cook and bake with cranberries here.

Notes

If you don't have fresh cranberries, go ahead and use dried cranberries or dried cherries.
