Minoo also shared some tips on packing healthy school lunches at the kitchen.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, coconut, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix with a fork.

In a large bowl, combine softened butter with brown sugar. Using a whisk, beat until creamy. Add egg and beat for another 30 seconds.

Add vanilla and stir to combine.

Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix to combined.

Roll 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a fork to lightly flatten the dough. Continue with the remaining dough, spacing cookies 1 to 2 inches apart.

Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are golden.

Let the cookies rest for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.

The white chocolate goes well with the cranberries.
