This makes a relatively soft cookie with just a bit of a crunch See variations for making the

cookie crunchier/crispier

DRY INGREDIENTS

/ cups brown rice flour (or spelt flour)

/ cup wholegrain amaranth flour (or spelt flour)

cup coconut shreds

WET INGREDIENTS

/ cup brown rice syrup

/ cup maple syrup

/ cup almonds ground

tablespoons walnut oil refined (or canola oil)

tablespoons NonHydrogenated Vegetable Oil Spread

tablespoon vanilla extract

/ teaspoon sea salt

teaspoons baking powder (double acting)

teaspoon coconut extract

tablespoons unrefined coconut oil

(

or nonhydrogenated veg shortening)

or walnut oil or canola oil)

GARNISH

/ cup coconut shreds

Preheat oven to degrees F ( degrees C)

Put parchment paper down on a baking sheet (if you don't have parchment paper you can oil your baking sheet)

Cookies can even stick a little to a nonstick baking sheet which messes up the cookies so I greatly prefer

parchment paper because it always makes for very easy removal

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl Cut coconut oil (or shortening or oil) into flour mixture (using a fork

and a knife)

Blend wet ingredients in a separate bowl

Place final portion of coconut shreds for garnish on a plate and set aside (the cookies will be rolled in this once the

raw dough is formed)

Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix together It may seem a bit dry at first but once you get all the

ingredients integrated it will form a slightly sticky shapable dough (If other flours besides those being called for

are used additional flour may be needed to create a stiff enough dough The dough is too wet if you can not

form cookies with your hands)

Shape balls of dough They may be a bit crumbly but should bake together nicely For garnish roll the balls in

the coconut shreds on the plate and place the balls onto the cookie sheet (or sheets) Flatten balls slightly

Bake for about minutes To prevent the bottoms of the cookies from burning you may like to place an extra

cookie sheet near the bottom of the oven to protect the main cookie sheet from the oven heating element When

the cookies are finished they will brown just slightly on the bottom When removing the cookies sheets from the

oven place them on a heat resistant cooling rack (or other elevated surface) so that air can circulate underneath

the sheet
