Ingredients

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ⅔ cup rolled oats

  • 3 ½ tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes, crushed

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped dried cranberries

  • 2 teaspoons melted butter

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ⅛ teaspoon lemon extract

Directions

  1. Set the oven to 325°F and lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk one egg, then gradually mix in 1/2 cup of sugar. Stir in 2/3 cup oats, 3 1/2 tablespoons coconut, 2 tablespoons cranberries, 2 teaspoons butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/8 teaspoon lemon extract until well combined. Drop teaspoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart. Using a fork dipped in cold water, flatten each mound into a circular shape.

  3. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
