Agave replaces sugar in these, lowering the GI. Use light or amber for best flavor.

How to Make Agave Oatmeal Cookies

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 325F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using an electric mixer, in a large bowl cream the butter with the agave and light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and stir in vanilla and orange zest.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, falxseed meal, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add to butter mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in dried cranberries (or raisins).
Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets and using the back of a spoon, flatten slightly and bake 12 minutes, or until slightly browned.
Cool on wire rack.
