These Oatmeal Cookie Recipe Without Butter are the best chewy and soft cookies, perfect for the holidays. Easy to make and low in calories, these healthy cookies are delicately sweet and full of white chocolate and cranberry flavors.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can spray the baking sheet well with nonstick and cook the cookies directly on the pan, I have done both.
Mix the oats, almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl combine the egg, melted coconut oil, applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and cranberries and mix to evenly distribute. Do not overmix.
Using a 1.5” cookie scoop (or spoon) scoop the cookies onto the baking sheet. You can fit 12 per standard baking sheet without issues. If you have issues with the batter sticking to the scoop (it is sticky and that is ok!!) spray the scoop with nonstick spray one time and continue scooping.
Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 11-12 minutes until they have golden edges and slightly browned tops. Let them cool for 5 minutes on the pan to set prior to moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
This dough is meant to very sticky. Spray your cookie scoop with spray if it's too sticky to work with.
Do not over-mix. Over-mixing will make your cookies tough.
