Coconut oil cranberries & Brazil nuts cookies

December 21, 2015 By travellingoven 2 Comments

With only few days left till Christmas, it’s time for baking Christmas cookies!

I already shared some recipes for traditional cookies that are made with butter (see here for Almonds & chocolate cookies and here for Almond crescent cookies) but today I’m sharing these amazing Coconut oil cranberries & Brazil nuts cookies that are a bit healthier due to use of coconut oil, coconut sugar and spelt flour. They are sweet, chewy, soft, delicious and cranberries give them that “winter-Christmas-feel”, really yummy! 🙂 In fact, they are almost gone already and I will have to make another batch tomorrow!

I used Brazil nuts that have very high content of healthy unsaturated fats or omega-3 fatty acids and also contain good quantities of vitamins, anti-oxidants and minerals. They are good source of B-complex group of vitamins, vitamin-E and hold exceptionally high levels of selenium. You can of course use other nuts if you prefer, I suggest almonds or pecans.By the way, how are your preparations for Christmas going? What will you be doing over the holidays, staying home or travelling somewhere? I’m curious and would love to hear from you! 🙂 I will be busy this week with work, baking, shooting, editing and I’ll be here in our little mountain town over Christmas and then next week I’ll have my sister and her family visiting so there will be plenty of candidates for cookies and cakes tasting!

Once you combine all the ingredients and shape the dough into small balls that you will put in the fridge for about 2 hours, they should look like this…

Author: Adapted from Gimmesomeoven blog Coconut oil chocolate chip cookies
Recipe type: Cookies
Serves: 25 cookies
Ingredients
  • ½ cup coconut oil (melted)
  • ½ cup coconut sugar (or other sugar)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cup white spelt flour (or all-purpose)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries
  • ⅓ cup chopped Brazil nuts (or pecans or almonds)
  • Note: 1 cup = 250 ml
Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl combine coconut oil, sugar, egg and vanilla and beat with electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the flour, baking soda and a pinch of salt and mix until combined.
  3. Stir in dried cranberries and chopped nuts by hand until just combined.
  4. Shape the dough in small balls (1 tbsp of dough per ball) and place them on a large plate, cover with plastic transparent foil and put in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 175 C (350 F) and place the dough balls on parchment lined baking tray leaving at least 5 cm (2 inch) between each of them. You can bake on two trays as the same time or like me, bake two times, one after another (first 9 cookies and than other 9).
  6. Bake for 10 min. They will still be very soft and look like they are under-cooked but that's how they should be as they will harden once they cool down. Cool them on wire rack and store in a metal box / airtight container for one week. Enjoy!

Total time
2 hours 25 mins
 
Recipe type: Keksi
Serves: 25 keksa
Ingredients
  • SASTOJCI
  • ½ salice kokosovog ulja, otopljenog
  • ½ salice kokosovog secera (ili drugog secera)
  • 1 jaje
  • 1 zlicica vanilin ekstrakta
  • 1½ salica bijelog pirovog brasna (ili psenicnog)
  • 1 zlicica sode bikarbone
  • prstohvat soli
  • ⅓ salice susenih brusnica
  • ⅓ salice Brazilskih orascica, isjeckanih (ili oraha)
  • Napomena: 1 salica = 250 ml
Preparation
  1. PRIPREMA
  2. U velikoj posudi pomijesati rastopljeno kokosovo ulje, secer, jaje i vanilin ekstrakt i miksati elektricnim mikserom 2-3 minute dok se smjesa dobro ne poveze.
  3. Dodati brasno, sodu bikarbonu i sol i mijesati dok se ne poveze.
  4. Umijesati brusnice i isjeckane orascice.
  5. Oblikovati tijesto u male kuglice (1 zlica tijesta po kuglici) i staviti ih na veliki tanjur, prekriti prozirnom folijom i staviti u frizider dva sata.
  6. Zagrijati pecnicu na 175 C i staviti kuglice tijesta na pleh (tepsiju) prethodno oblozen papirom za pecenje. Ostaviti dovoljno razmaka izmedju (barem 5 cm) jer ce se keksi siriti kad se budu pekli. Peci 10 minuta.
  7. Keksi ce biti vrlo mekani i izgledati kao da nisu dokraja peceni, ali ce se stvrdnuti prilikom hladjenja. Ostavite ih da se dobro ohlade i pohranite u metalnu kutiju za kekse.

    I love Brazil nuts! I never knew that much about their nutritional value! Next I buy my walnuts I’m gonna get the Brazil nuts right next to them! These are really the perfect cookies for the holidays. I’m gonna try to see if I can make them gluten free.

Lately my body is craving all things refreshing so Lately my body is craving all things refreshing so every day I've been drinking lemonade made with organic lemons from my parents' garden and sweetened with honey. What is your favourite citrus fruit? I love the smell of lime and taste of mandarines, specially if they are not too sweet. But all citrus fruit is just great! 😊✨

When I think of my happy place, I visualize this.. When I think of my happy place, I visualize this... mountains, nature, snow in winter, green meadows and forests in summer, house like this (it can be smaller I’m ok with that 😅), fireplace... How about you, how does a happy place from your imagination looks like? 
Reality is nice and cozy too, going to have a slice of cake and a glass of milk now and watch a movie. Have a nice Saturday evening everyone! 🤗

Each day I find a thing to be grateful for. 😊 T Each day I find a thing to be grateful for. 😊 Today it was a beautiful cold and sunny morning, a long walk in the park with a friend talking about life. There is something that I noticed about myself lately, a shift within me, a change in a way I live and feel. The more I focus my gratitude on small moments, the more I feel at peace. The more I accept that not everything happens the way I would want to, the more I’m happy with what I have. Two years ago when life circumstances were actually much better for me in terms of work, socializing, opportunities for fun and travel, I was fighting depression, horrible anxiety, panic attacks, PTSP... Today when life is more challenging on every level, I feel more like myself again, stronger and hopeful. Sure bad day happens but that’s normal and that’s ok. It only shows how much we can do for ourselves with hard work, therapy, introspection, taking small steps each day... Sharing this in case somebody needs a bit of encouragement.❤️

Some of the things that lift my spirit when I’m Some of the things that lift my spirit when I’m down: thick rich dark hot chocolate, good music, candles, writing down in my journal dreams - big and small, no matter how unrealistic they may seem at the moment... 😊 One thing that I’m grateful for is that no matter how difficult the circumstances, I can always daydream and imagine beautiful exciting things, places and experiences. Sometimes all we need is a bit of hope and imagination...✨
