Canned Cactus

(Vegan) C^3: Coconut-Cranberry Cookies

Pre-heat oven to 375 F

1 c. flour

1 c. organic shredded coconut

1 c. oats

2/3 c. dried cranberries

3/4 c. (light) brown sugar

2 c. walnuts

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 c. boiling water

Step one: in a food processor chop walnuts until ultra-fine, then add 1 tbsp. water. This will make somewhat of walnut-butter, with similar consistency to peanut butter.

Step two: in mixer, combine all other DRY ingredients with walnut-butter and mix. Then add vanilla extract and 1/2 c. of boiling water.

Step three: Scoopin' time! Use a cookie scooper or your hands to make cookies-dough balls and put on cookies sheet.

Step four: sprinkle coconut ontop of dough for a pretty effect, and gently press down on tops to flatten.

Bake for 8-10 min. or until golden brown.

My mom describes these cookies as breakfast cookies, so if you like to eat baked goods in the morning, these are tasty. ENJOY!
