Ingredients
Servings
32 cookies

3/4 cup Refined Coconut Oil or Vegan Butter, melted

3/4 cup Florida Crystals® Organic Raw Cane Sugar

3/4 cup Florida Crystals®Organic Light Brown Raw Cane Sugar

1/2 cup Apple Sauce

2 tsp Vanilla Extract

2 cups 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour

1 cup Rolled Oats

1 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 cup Vegan Chocolate Chips

1/3 cup Macadamia Nuts, chopped

1/3 cup Craisins

1/3 cup Dried Cherries

1/3 cup Walnuts, chopped

Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil or vegan butter, Florida Crystals® Organic Raw Cane Sugar, Florida Crystals® Organic Light Brown Raw Cane Sugar, apple sauce and vanilla.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, sift together 1:1 gluten-free flour, oats, salt and baking powder. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet until well incorporated.

Step 3

Fold in the vegan chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, craisins, dried cherries and walnuts.

Step 4

Cover the bowl of cookie dough and set in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Roll dough into 2 tbsp balls and place onto baking sheet 2 inches apart. You will need to bake in several batches. 6. Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes or until edges are golden.

Step 6

Allow the cookies to cool for 1 minute before using a spatula to trader to a cooling rack. The cookies may seem soft but they will firm up. 

Chef's Tip
  • Store in an airtight container for a week.
  • Unrefined coconut oil works as well, it will just lend a coconut flavor to the cookies.
  • You can use regular all purpose flour in place of the 1:1 gluten-free flour.
