• 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
• 6 Tbsp. warm water
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white whole-wheat flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
• 2/3 cup coconut oil, softened but not melted

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking mat.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, combine the flaxseed and water. Mix on lowest speed until well emulsified. Let stand several minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
4. To the bowl with the flaxseed mixture, add the coconut oil, brown sugar maple syrup and vanilla. Mix on medium-high speed until well combined.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture. Mix on medium-high until the dough is smooth and sticky. Stir in the oats, cranberries and chocolate chips. Chill dough 15 minutes.
