These Gluten-Free Chocolate-Coconut-Cranberry Cookies have an airy, almost meringue-like texture yet lots of chew, thanks to the oats and coconut. The cranberries and chocolate “pop” with flavor. 

My daughter was born with severe intolerance to soy, dairy, wheat, and corn. When she was older, I felt bad that she couldn’t eat a lot of things that other kids her age could eat, so I created this recipe for her. –Jenna Luv, Concord, California

Ingredients
1 cup unsalted almond butter
1/2 cup sugar (or a little less, if you prefer)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
dash of ground cinnamon
1 bar (1.75 ounces) dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup old-fashioned gluten-free oats
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup unsweetened or sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a bowl, combine almond butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and cinnamon and mix well. Add chocolate, oats, cranberries, and coconut.
