Oatmeal cookies have been around for a long time, we can find recipes from around 200 years ago! This recipe contains cranberries, they add a sweet and tart flavor which is perfect for the winter season. Cranberries are a perfect fruit for a healthy diet, since they contain antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin E and dietary fiber.

On the other hand, oats also have multiple health benefits, as they also contain fiber that helps to lower cholesterol. 
These cranberry cookies made with coconut oil are crumblier than those made with regular butter. Coconut oil is one of the healthier fats since it helps to reduce cholesterol level and helps to lose weight. 
I love this recipe, because cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, making them a convenient and delicious snack to have on hand when spending long winter evenings at your home
