Golden Coconut Pecan Cookies

Makes about 2 dozen

Pre-heat the oven to 350F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Set it aside.

In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat:

2 eggs

Add and continue beating:

2/3 cup coconut sugar
2/3 cup Stevia in the Raw, measurable (or other low glycemic sugar replacement)

Add and mix well:

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (I make my own.  Recipe here)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Add, continuing to mix:

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup ground flax seed

Finally, stir in: 

1/3 cup pecan pieces


Scoop by small scoopfuls, (2 tablespoon size), onto the parchment lined sheet about 2" apart.  Flatten the tops of the cookies, and bake them at 350F for about 10-13 minutes.  

Allow them to rest on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes, then transfer them to a paper towel to continue cooling.  Store covered with waxed paper or paper towels between the layers. 

Enjoy!
