N’Oatmeal Cookies – The Paleo Response to Oatmeal Cookies!
Traditional oatmeal cookies have NOTHING on this paleo version. These are super tender, chewy, sweet and spicy, with a crazy intense, rich buttery flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, flax seed meal, unsweetened coconut, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Mix with a whisk to ensure that the ingredients are very well distributed. Reserve.
In a separate bowl, cream lard, ghee and date paste with a hand mixer, until light and fluffy in consistency. Add eggs, one at a time and make sure it’s well incorporated before adding the next one. Add vanilla extract and mix well. (you can also do this in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment)
Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, no more.
Stir in walnuts, dates and raisins.
On a baking sheet that’s been lined with parchment paper, drop tablespoon-sized amounts of cookie batter; slightly flatten with a fork.
Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes; allow cookies to cool for a minute or two before attempting to move them to a cooling rack.
Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
These cookies will keep for up to 10 days in the refrigerator. HA!HA! That was funny. They will never last that long! ;)
