BEST EVER COOKIE RECIPE

MAPLE PECAN COOKIES

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups pecans, ground in food processor or incredibly finely chopped (i do it by hand due to lack of food processor)
2 cups quick oats, ground (i use organic rolled oats)
1 cup unbleached white spelt flour, sifted (i use oat flour)
1 cup whole spelt flour, sifted (i use oat flour)1 cup maple syrup (grade b syrup has more maple-licious flavor)
1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil (any kind of veggie or nut oil can work. i've used canola, but walnut and safflower have been particularly successful)
1 tablespoon real vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
30 pecan halves

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pecans, oats, and sifted white and spelt flours.

3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, oil, vanilla, and sea salt.

4. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry and stir well to combine.

5. Scoop a spoonful of dough onto lined baking sheet

 and gently press down using your palm. 

Repeat with the remaining dough. 

Press a pecan half into the top of each cookie.
