Do you need any special ingredients to make these Cranberry and Almond Oat Cookies?
This post contains affiliate links. Find out what this means.
You can find Almond extract in most supermarkets or here at Amazon. You can use almond essence, but we prefer to use extract as essences or flavourings are a chemically developed flavouring and can often give your baking a synthetic taste.
Our sweetener of choice is Sukrin 1 which is a natural, granulated sweetener (just like sugar) that has none of that horrible, artificial taste.
That being said, you don’t have to use Sukrin. There are lots of other high quality, granulated sweeteners available from the supermarket including Canderel Sugarly and Natvia.
If you’re using powdered sweetener, then please check how it compares to sugar. In some cases, you’ll need to use less, as powdered sweeteners can weigh less.

Mine came out really rubbery 🙁 gutted don’t know where I went wrong but will defo try them again as they smell Devine!
HollyWednesday 10th February 2021
Hi Ruth, as these are oat cookies they could have a slightly chewy texture rather than a crispy cookie. Maybe try not mixing them for too long next time and just bring the ingredients together until combined in step 1. Hope that helps!

Is there anything else I can sub for quark and yoghurt?
I also don’t have dried cranberries so I’ll sub either with dark chocolate chips or glacé cherries or any other dried fruit which I’m sure would work just as well?
LisaThursday 3rd December 2020
Hi Jan. Replacing the cranberries with a different dried fruit should work fine. You may get a different textured cookie if you use chocolate chips. You could try using a little milk (or dairy free alternative, such as almond milk) instead of the quark. We haven’t tried this ourselves so can’t guarantee the results, as it may also affect the texture. Please let us know how you get on if try it.
BexThursday 2nd July 2020
It says serves 2? So a serving is 5 cookies?
HollyThursday 13th August 2020
Hi Bex, yes the recipe for Cranberry and Almond Oat Cookies makes 10 cookies and serves 2 so 5 cookies per person. Hope that helps!
JuliaThursday 16th April 2020
What can I use instead of quark, as I don’t have any in my fridge? Thanks
Sharon FitzpatrickMonday 18th May 2020
Hi Julia, you could try using 0% fat Greek yogurt or plain fromage frais instead of quark. Let us know how you get on!

Emma TSunday 7th April 2019

Could you use fresh cranberries instead of dried ?
KirstyWednesday 7th February 2018
Just tried these but it was a really stodgy mixture & I only got 6 out of the mixture? Where did I go wrong? Followed the recipe but wasn’t sure if I was sposed to spread the mixture out on the baking paper or leave in balls or if the mixture was sposed to be more gooey! I used ready brek oats?
