Chewy Toasted Coconut Oatmeal Cookies (Gluten Free, Vegan).
These toasted coconut oatmeal cookies are chewy, sweet, and loaded with crispy coconut! This is a cookie recipe you'll turn to again and again!
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan buttery spread
- ½ cup brown sugar firmly packed
- ¼ cup organic cane sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground flax seed meal
- 3 Tablespoons water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup gluten free flour blend
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cup gluten free old fashioned oats
- ¾ cup toasted coconut flakes You can buy them already toasted, or just toast in your oven for about 5 minutes at 325 degrees.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Mix the ground flax seed and water in a small cup and let it sit for five minutes until it gels up.
- In a large glass bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, just until softened. Stir in the sugars, vanilla, and flax seed egg and mix well.
- Stir in the gluten free flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix well. Add the oats and coconut, and stir.
- Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the parchment lined cookie sheet. Leave about an inch in between cookies.
- Bake for about 10 minutes. They will look a little bit underdone in the middle…that’s okay! They will cook a bit more on the cookie sheet as they are cooling. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for about 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.
- Repeats steps 4 and 5 with remaining cookie dough.
Notes
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for about 5 days.
If you aren't gluten free, you can use regular all-purpose flour.
If you can't have coconut, you can leave it out. Just add more oats instead.
You could also add some chocolate chips to this recipe if you like.
