FAQ:
Q: Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
A: While quick oats can be used in a pinch, rolled oats provide a better texture and chew.
Q: Are these cookies overly tart?
A: Not at all—the lemon adds brightness without overpowering sweetness, thanks to the balance of cranberries and sugars.
Q: Can I make these cookies vegan?
A: Yes! Substitute the butter with vegan butter, and replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water).
