On a medium heat, roast oat and coconut in a wide pan.
When oat and coconut change the color slightly and aromatic, take the pan away from the stove and take out the oat and coconut into a tray.
Use the same pan again and at the same heat, melt peanut butter with maple syrup.
When the mixture is bubbly, add vanilla bean paste. Mix well.
Now, add roasted oat and coconut and mix well.
Turn off the stove and take the pan away from the stove to cook further and take out the mixture into the tray to cool. Add cranberries and mix well. If you would like to add chocolate chip, you will have to wait till the mixture is cooled or else the chip may melt.
When the mixture is slightly warm, start shaping into cookies.
