These scrumptious cookies were created by making a cookie that had the flavor of a shortbread cookie, made with honey in place of sugar, used oat flour in place of all-purpose flour and real dairy butter for my husband. He loves cookies, but only when they're wholesome little goodies. This is how they turned out, pretty good I'd say by the picture below...
He was very happy, and so is the little hand reaching up
to grab her cookie at the bottom left of the picture.
A happy family is baking at it's best.
Enjoy!
Makes 2 dozen
The Recipe
2 c unbleached all-purpose flour 1/2 c butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flours with salt, baking soda and baking powder, mix well. In a separate medium bowl, combine sugar, honey and butter, mixing well until combined. Mix flour mixture into butter mixture in two parts, adding walnuts and raisins with the second addition of flour mixture. Pour shredded coconut into a small bowl. Scoop cookie dough into balls and drop into shredded coconut. Coat each cookie dough ball evenly with coconut and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake around 10 minutes, or until coconut and bottom edge of each cookie are golden brown. Cool on a wire rack and watch them disappear!

Smart Little Cookie Tip:
You can easily make your own oat flour by pouring rolled oats into a blender and grinding it. You can use this two ways: Substitute oat flour for all-purpose flour, or, use half all-purpose flour and half oat flour in any recipe.
Also, try different mixes of your favorite raisins! We love to use Trader Joe's Jumbo Raisin Medley. It's a combination of seedless golden light raisins, flame raisins, and jumbo raisins. Delicious!
