Even with a healthy lifestyle you still have to live a little! This a remake of grandma's and I think you will love it:) Even though it is a healthier version of our favorite, moderation is still key! Try to stick to just a few, but it will be rough to not eat the whole batch! ** These cookies are very thin, if you like a thicker but still chewy cookie, use regular all purpose (organic) flour instead of the spelt flour. Also, baby cereal works if you do not have oat bran. To make this cookie vegan use carob chips instead of dark chocolate.
Chocolatey Coconut Cookies
½ C coconut oil (any oil can be substituted)
3 T organic cinnamon applesauce
½ t sea salt, finely ground
1 T pure vanilla extract
½ C plus 2 T sugar in the raw
1 C whole spelt flour
2 T oat bran
½ t baking soda
1/3 C organic dark chocolate chips
2 T shredded, unsweetened coconut
1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F, and set out two non-stick cookie sheets, or line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together applesauce, coconut oil, salt, vanilla, and sugar.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together spelt flour, oat bran, and baking soda. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir using a wooden spoon.
4. Once your dry is incorporated to the wet carefully fold in the chocolate chips and coconut (you may use a rubber spatula for this step for easy folding).
5. Using a teaspoon, make dollops of cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheets. Then bake at 325 for 7-9 minutes, rotating your cookie 180 degrees sheet after 4 minutes. Cookies will be pretty thin, so watch them close!
Makes about 36 cookies.
