Who just doesn’t love eating sweets? Just one bite of one of those heavenly pleasures and you simply can’t stop!! We all know now that sugar isn’t exactly the best thing for you to eat, and those sugar substitutes we find now a days in the supermarket are nothing but chemicals that poison your body… So I decided to do some research on how to solve this problem and finally found… agave syrup, which has so many health benefits that I just couldn’t stop using it ever since!

Cranberry and Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature.
• 1/2 cup agave syrup
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup cranberries

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 150°C. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat butter and agave syrup in large bowl until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture and oats and stir until blended. Stir in all chocolate chips and cranberries.

Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until edges are light brown, about 16 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely.
