Ah fall. The cooler temps, clean air and the coming holidays. This is a great little recipe so you can have these around when everyone comes in from the family football game. They are delicious, easy to make and everyone loves them. 

INGREDIANTS
  • 3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons coconut palm sugar (or 4 tablespoons light brown sugar, lightly packed)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 1/16 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/16 teaspoon salt
  • 1/16 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons sweetened dried cranberries, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
  • Preheat oven to 350F; line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
  • Cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl, and stir in all remaining ingredients.
  • Refrigerate to chill slightly (about 10 minutes), then use a 1-teaspoon measuring spoon to measure out the dough; roll each into a ball and arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until the cookies are light golden on the bottom, about 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Cool completely on the tray before removing.
