Servings: 12 cookies

Ingredients

Into a large bowl mix together:

  • 139g g unbleached cane sugar
  • 102 g coconut sugar
  • 89 g coconut oil melted
  • 80 g aquafaba
  • 6 g vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ g almond extract

Add and combine:

  • 165 g rolled oats
  • 100 g white chocolate chipes
  • 68 g dried cranberries
  • 61 g walnuts, hazelnuts or whatever you like
  • 22 g coconut flakes large

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • In a large bowl, mix until smooth: sugars, oil, aquafaba and extracts.
  • Add in the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir until you have a smooth, wet and sticky batter.
  • Add in the rolled oats, and stir to combine. The dough will be quite stiff and a little sticky.
  • With a big spoon (or your hands) mix in the chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts and coconut flakes, until well combined.
  • Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Take a 1/3 cup measure and form the dough into level scoops, and drop evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
    With lightly wet hands, gently press on the top of each dough scoop to flatten them out slightly.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes, until baked through and golden brown.
  • Cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and allow to rest until room temperature.
  • Freeze, or store in a covered container.

Notes

  • Use any kind  or combination of nut, chip and dried fruit you like. I often do carob and white chocolate chips.
 
  • Both refined and unrefined coconut oil are OK. Unrefined will add a dominant coconut flavor to the cookies.
 
  • I ALWAYS measure by weight when I make gluten-free bakes. But for those that don't bake with scales, here are approximate measurements:
    • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
    • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
    • 3/4 cup unbleached granulated cane sugar
    • 1/3 cup aquafaba
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
    • 1 1/2 cups 1:1 flour
    • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
    • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, cherries or raisins
    • 1/2 cup walnuts
    • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, white or regular
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup large coconut flakes
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
