Dairy-Free Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies are chewy crisp cookies with a flavorful spark of dried cranberries. Mix, drop and bake for a delicious treat.
One of the fastest ways I know to get a sweet treat in the house is by making cookies. The variety is endless and the ingredients are probably already in your cupboard.
The ingredients for this cookie recipe probably are anyway. The dough comes together quickly and the outcome of your baking is undeniably good.
Do you have a cookie jar? The one I use is a large square clear glass jar that has a wide mouth and a silver toned screw on lid. Your hand can fit inside and reach all the way inside to the bottom.
When no one is eating them the jar sits out as a design element on one of my counters.
Have you seen any of those old cookie jars from around the 30's, 40's and 50's? They are in all the antique stores and they are also pretty scary.
Porky Pig, beehives, owls and heads of famous movie characters are just a few you could choose from. Isn't it great how we have moved away from that craze?
I shouldn't bad mouth those old cookie jars. As they say "Everything comes around again". It's usually around every 40-50 years the styles come back. In everything!
Clothes, hair, decor. We are coming up to the 70's in design time so they must have decided to skip the character cookie jars.
Another cookie that often graces my big clear glass jar is a no-bake one - No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are really worth making too. And the most popular one on my website so far is Apple Pie Cookies.
I hope you LOVE these chocolate cookies! They are:
- Chewy
- Textured
- Rich in flavor
- Crowd-pleasing
- and Easy to Make!
Dairy-Free Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies are also a good one because they can be made over the holidays.
Cranberries brighten up so many recipes their deep burgundy color is so pretty.

Oops! It is supposed to be baking powder. I'll go fix that and thanks for the heads up.
Timi
In your ingredients list, you have “baking powder”, but in the instructions it says “baking soda”. Which one should be used here?
Ginny McMeans
No I haven't but it wouldn't work Sara. It needs to whip into a light an d fluffy mixture which wouldn't work with wet coconut oil.
Sara
Have you tried this with coconut oil in place of non- dairy butter?
Ginny McMeans
Almond Milk and Coconut milk would be perfect Christine. Just pick the one you like the most.
Christine
What milk alternative works best in sweets ( other than soy)? Definitely going to make these!
Thanks

I've been on the lookout for a good vegan/dairy free cookie recipe and these look like they might just be it! They look utterly scrumptious!

These sound unreal! I love chewy oatmeal cookies and I *love* putting raisins in them — so incorporating cranberries would be a welcomed addition or sub-in in this house.
Jordan

I hope you do Nancy! Happy baking.
