So.... it's been awhile.......




So it's been a while... 12 months to be exact!  Yikes!  Life is like that at times I guess. Anyway - shall we start off again with a recipe?

These particular morsels of yumminess are called The Ultimate Cookie in our house.  If we ever run out of them I am sure to have 2 boys, well actually 3 including my hubby telling me we are out.  So that is my definition of a keeper!  This was originally given to me from a friend who got it from a friend (sort of thing..) Anyhooo my friend played with the recipe to make it Gluten Free and over time I have added and omitted to it as well.  This cookie is packed with lots of healthful goodies and I honestly don't mind my kiddos asking for one of these everyday -  Enjoy!

1/2 cup                    coconut oil
1 cup                       natural peanut butter
2 tsp                        pure vanilla
1 cup                       brown sugar
3                            eggs
1/3 cup (or more)   water
2 cups                     Gluten Free Flour  -  any combination
 (I like a mix of 1/2 cup each of oat, sorghum, 3/4 brown rice and 1/4 cup coconut)                              
1 tsp                        cinnamon (or more we love cinnamon!)
2 tsp                        xanthan gum
Ready for the oven.
3 Tbsp                     shelled hemp seeds
2 Tbsp                     raw chia seeds
1/3 cup                    flax meal 
2 cups                     GF oats
1/2 cup                    oat bran
1 tsp                        sea salt
2 tsp                        baking soda

1/2 bag                    choc chips - our favourite is enjoy life mega chunks
1 cup                       shredded unsweetened coconut


Beat coconut oil, peanut butter, sugar and vanilla. Add in eggs and water. Mix in dry ingredients.  Add in chocolate chunks mix well until combined. (This is a THICK batter but if the mix seems really dry - add a tad more water) Drop scoops of dough onto cookie sheets covered with parchment paper (an ice cream scoop works great ~these are BIG cookies!) Bake at 350F for 17 min.  Let them cool for a few minutes and then move them to a cooling rack.  Hope you love them!

This plate will not be full for long!
