Cookie Recipes!

Here are the recipes I talked about in this post: Too Many Nuts (big loud scream of horror). Enjoy!

Chocolate Almond Coconut Clusters

This recipe is slightly modified from a friend’s recipe. Any time I get to pass something along from Katy it is an honor.

• ½ cup peanut butter (I make my own pecan butter from soaked and dehydrated pecans)

• ½ cup honey (or less)

• 2 T coconut  oil or butter, softened (I use coconut oil)

• ¼ tsp. salt

• ¼ cup sifted coconut flour (sifted)

• 1 cup flaked coconut

• 1 c. almonds (soaked and dehydrated) coarsely chopped

Process pecans in food processor until they are a pecan butter consistency (or use peanut butter). Add honey coconut oil and salt. Add coconut flour, flaked coconut and chopped almonds. Process it together.

You can also add cocoa powder, cardamom, cinnamon, or dark chocolate chips (dark chocolate chips are not GAPS friendly).

These are great as raw balls, but the recipe says to bake them.

How to bake:

Heat oven to 375°. Place cookie balls on silicone baking sheet and flatten. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool a few minutes. They will be toasty and wonderful.

Nut Balls

This is a recipe from my friend Casey. I have modified it slightly.

• 1 cup soaked and dehydrated almonds

• 1 cup pitted dates

• 1/3 cup cocoa powder

• Pinch of salt

• Dash of vanilla

Put it all in the food processor and chop until they are at a consistency that causes them to stick. Form into balls. We like them frozen, so in the freezer they go.

You can add some coconut oil to these – it adds a great flavor and helps them to stick if you can’t get the right consistency.

Wow! Chocolate Almonds. It's not a bad idea making one, since it's been a while that my kids had it. Well, this is their reward for being good boys by properly taking care of their teeth. Thanks for this wonderful cookie recipe. I'm sure the boys will be happy.
