Yield: 24

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 10 MinTotal time: 20 Min

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vegan butter
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1/4 cup date sugar
• 1 Tbsp ground flax meal
• 3 Tbsp water
• 3/4 cup gluten-free flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• Chocolate chips or nuts as an optional add-in

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Toast the coconut for 5 minutes then remove from the oven to cool.
2. While the coconut is toasting combine the ground flax and water to make the flax egg and set it aside for 15 minutes.
3. Soften the butter in the microwave then stir in the sugars, vanilla, and flax egg.
4. Stir in the gluten-free flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix well then add in the oats, toasted coconut, and any add-ins you desire.
5. Drop the dough by tablespoons onto a parchment-lined baking sheet flattening the cookies a bit.
6. Bake for about 10 minutes. They will look a little underdone but they will cook a bit more on the sheet as they are cooling. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for an additional 10 minutes then transfer them to a cooling rack.
