Good For You Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup coconut oil
1 1/2 cups organic coconut palm sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups 100% whole wheat flour                
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups old-fashion rolled oats, uncooked

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the coconut oil and the palm sugar and beat with an electric mixer until very creamy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, and beat again until mixed.

In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add it to the creamed mixture. Add the oats & Mix together.

Drop heaping teaspoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave plenty of room for the cookies to spread. Bake until the cookies are cooked in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven. Cool on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 3-4 dozen cookies.

All of these ingredients like the coconut oil and palm sugar can be found in the baking section of most grocery stores.
