Craisy Cho-conut Bliss Cookies - Variation #2

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 8 ounces pitted dates (not chopped dates, they have added sugar and are much harder, broke my food processor!)
• 100 g coconut oil (melted in microwave for 1 minute) or 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted in microwave for 1 minute)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds (purchase flax seed meal or use a coffee grinder)
• 1 cup coconut flour
• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 10 ounces craisins (craisins do have added sugar)
• 5 ounces chocolate chips (i use enjoy life foods brand)

Recipe

• 2 preheat oven to 350°f.
• 3 pour dates and water into a microwave safe bowl and cover. microwave for 5 minutes.
• 4 measure coconut oil into microwave safe container. microwave for 1 minute, and stir until completely melted.
• 5 let dates and coconut oil sit and cool for 5 minutes, while you mix the dry ingredients. (they need to cool long enough that it won't hurt your food processor to puree them together.).

• 7 puree pitted dates, water, coconut oil, and honey in a food processor.

• 10 scoop and drop onto a prepared cookie sheet (using a silpat or parchment paper). these cookies do not spread, so you can roll and slice, or form with your hands or whatever you prefer. i used a 1 tbsp cookie scoop for these.
• 11 bake at 350°f for 15 minutes.
