Ingredients

• Cookies
• ½ cup coconut milk, canned
• ½ cup cacao powder (** or traditional cocoa powder)
• ½ cup coconut oil, melted, but not hot
• 1½ cups coconut sugar (** organic dark brown sugar is a great alternative)
• 2 cups finely shredded coconut
• 1 cup big flake coconut
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
• Optional
• ¾ cup chopped walnuts (** almonds, or any of your favorite nuts)
• ½ cup almond butter (** or nut butter of your choice)
• ½ cup oats (** old-fashioned, not quick .. and make sure to look for gluten-free if needed )

Directions

• Combine the coconut milk, cocoa powder, coconut oil, and sugar in a large saucepan.
• Over medium heat, cook until the mix has come to a boil, stirring consistently. Allow to boil for 30 seconds to 1 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and coconut, as well as any optional additions. Put the saucepan in the fridge for 30 min to an hour to cool.
• (** I found the cookies formed a bit better after Id allowed the batter to cool for a while)
• Spoon the cookies onto a prepared baking sheet and allow to cool in the fridge, at least an hour (2 or 3 hours is better) before serving.
