Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Cookies…have you tried coconut oil in cookies yet? Coconut oil is yummy yum yum in sweet foods. And I LOVE what it does to cookies– crispy on the edges and soft in the middle kinda of cookies, with a hint of coconut flavor.

Cookies are like my go-to homemade sweet treat. I know my favorite recipe by heart and I always adapt them to my mood and the ingredients I have on hand. These cookies are kinda healthy enough to eat for breakfast with coffee, or at least I do when I make a batch 🙂 Gotta live a little, right?

When baking cookies, I will play around with the flour and in this recipe I chose to go with white whole wheat flour because it’s a bit healthier than the regular enriched stuff. These cookies have some good for you ingredients too like coconut oil, pecans and cranberries!

Baking with coconut oil can typically be used in a 1:1 ratio in recipes. Because it’s a little more liquidy than butter, I added in extra flour into this recipe to give the cookie dough the right texture and enough rise.

You can really toss in your favorite add ins in place of pecans, chocolate chips and cranberries too! I love to adapt this recipe, but this Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Cookie recipe is a winning cookie combo!
