Chewy Coconut Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe photo

Servings: 24
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Preheat oven to 325 degrees ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Cream the coconut oil and sugar in a large bowl, add the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix the oats, almond flour, baking soda and salt. Stir the wet and dry together, then add the raisins, coconut, and pecans.

Roll into golf-ball sized cookies, and flatten slightly with your palm. The cookies shouldn’t spread too much, so you can place them about an inch apart.

Bake for 8-12 minutes, until the cookies are golden and fragrant.

Best when served chilled.

*You can grind your own almond flour by placing whole almonds in a blender/food processor and blending until you get a fine meal.
