Looking for the perfect gooey, chewy, plant-based cookie? What if I told you it’s also super easy and quick to make, with all the ingredients going into one bowl! Well friends, let me introduce you to my one bowl white and dark chocolate chip cranberry cookie. If that name isn’t enough of a mouth full, you can bet your mouth will be full of cookie by the end of this post.
C Is For Cookie
Between the kale, lentils, and beans I really love mixing things up and creating recipes for sweet treats! Making “healthy” versions of desserts is great, but today I just really wanted some whipped butter and sugar. If you don’t already know, I am a huge advocate of listening to your body, and finding the balance between what you should eat most of the time and what you can have some of the time. These cookies definitely fall under the latter of the two–they are the perfect combo of crunchy, chewy, and sweet.
Trail Mix Filling
I really wanted to include a mix of flavours and textures to this traditional cookie recipe. You will love the mix of white and dark chocolate chips, and the balance of sweet dried cranberries with crunchy walnuts. For this recipe I used the Organic Patience Fruit & Co classic dried cranberries because they are sweetened with apple juice. Steeping the cranberries in apple juice before drying them is important because they still have tons of flavour and remain quite soft. A few benefits of snacking on these dried cranberries:
- Source of Fibre
- No Sulphites
- Additive Free
- Source of Polyphenols (micronutrients packed with antioxidants)
Get creative with the fillings in this cookie! You can switch out the chocolate or try a different dried fruit. Also mixing up the nut choice can give you different flavours and textures. This cookie is so easy to make you can’t really go wrong, and they will taste amazing with any filling combination.
Baking and Storing
These one bowl plant-based cookies are so easy to whip up! They are a great, fresh out of the oven dessert for after dinner to share with guests, or fun activity for you and your littles. They only take about 10 minutes to prepare and another 12-13 minutes to bake. You can also prepare the dough and keep it in the fridge for later in the day or store in the freezer for another time. Because this cookie is so versatile it also makes a great gift–baked or as frozen dough! So share the love in the form of the most delicious, soft, and chewy cookie you’ve ever had!

So delicious, wish I doubled the recipe!
DO IT NEXT TIME!! Thanks for the love, hun!
Can’t wait to make these— but what brand/where to find vegan white chocolate? I’ve looked everywhere and have never found it.
Thank you for being awesome!
iChoc! It’s the first vegan white chocolate that comes up if you google it!
THESE ARE SO DAMN YUMMY!!!!!!!
Thank-you for sharing these cookies just in time for the holidays 🙂 I had a really good feeling about these so I went ahead and baked 3 batches of them. Ooops! But my family of 4 will eat these all up in about 2 days if I leave them out – and I would like to avoid that, will these freeze fine after baking? Thanks Maria! Happy Holidays!!!
Yay, thank you so much for the love, hun! That makes me so happy!
