This is a very simple vegan recipe and makes about 24 delicious cookies. They are great with a little marmalade spooned on top as you eat them; yummy!
Ingredients:
-1 cup whole wheat flour
-1 cup rolled oats
-1/2 cup shredded coconut
-1/4 cup ground flax seeds
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/2 cup maple syrup
-1/2 cup olive oil or sunflower oil
-1 tsp granulated sugar & 1 tsp cinnamon, combined, for sprinkling over-top after baking
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, coconut, flax, cinnamon and salt.
2) Add maple syrup and oil. Mix, just until the flour is absorbed.
3) Roll, by scant tablespoons, into balls.
4) Place, 1 inch apart, on parchment lined baking sheet.
5) Flatten with middle and index fingers in a "v" shape to make a little wave pattern.
6) Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until bottoms are golden. As soon as they are removed from the oven, sprinkle the granulated sugar/cinnamon combination over-top. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheets, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes about 24 cookies.
