Coconut Cookies

This recipe is adapted from cavemanstrong.com's Coconut Cookies.  I changed the recipe a little to suit our tastes.  These are great to keep on hand when I don't feel like fixing a snack or to tide the babies over while I make dinner.  The original recipe calls for chocolate chips.  I omitted these because chocolate chip cookies equal messy faces and little hands which in turn touch anything and everything in the house.  Next time I make these I may add raisins and nuts.

1 cup of coconut flour
3/4 cup of coconut oil
1 cup of honey
6 eggs
1/2 tsp of vanilla
1 1/2 cup of shredded coconut


Pre-heat oven to 300 . Combine oil, honey, eggs, and vanilla.  Add shredded coconut and coconut flour.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Make golf ball size balls and then flatten with hands.  I wet my hands before forming the cookies to keep the batter from sticking.  The batter will not spread out so however flat you make them is how they will turn out.  Bake for 20-30 mins or until lightly browned.
