Introduction
Lots of stuff going on in these fruity, vegan gems: granola, flax, oats and Kamut flakes add body and nutrition to the nines, while dried cranberries and chocolate chips lace their way through the dough for pockets of interest in every bite. Chilling the dough overnight here is key – I’ve found that with grain-packed cookie batters like in oatmeal cookies it takes a good while for all the liquids to fully hydrate the rest of the dry mix and make for a great texture.
