Cookies
Submitted by David Weaver on Thu, 02/18/2010 - 8:57am
Mix 1/4 cup melted coconut oil with 1 egg, and add sweetener to taste (I used 1 TBSP honey, not bad spread out over ten cookies).
Then, add 1 cup of almond meal and 1/2 cup (maybe a bit more) shredded unsweetened coconut and mix until the batter forms into one solid mass.
Next, add vanilla, cinammon, and nutmeg, plus whatever else you want! I made some plain, some with fresh cranberries (the best), and some with chocolate chips. Could also used nuts, dates, dried fruit...
Roll batter into balls, place on cookie sheet and then smash down to disc/cookie shape. Bake 15+ min at 350. Only makes about 10 small cookies, but obviously easy to double or triple the batch size to make more and/or bigger cookies.
Also might try making these into bars - the outside is very solid and looks really dry and crunchy, but when you bite into them the inside is moist and delicious.
