A little bake time with my brother= lots of laughing, criticism on my baking skills, and hate for my attempts at “nasty” ‘healthy’ sweets. Needless to say I thought I’d share the yummy treat! So easy, yummy, and simple!

So I forgot to write this down, but as you are placing it on the parchment paper before placing in the oven, we found it helpful to use a tablespoon (like one you eat with) to scoop them onto the cookie sheet and then gently smush the raw cookie down to flatten it a wee bit! It’s recommended 9–11 minutes to bake the cookies, but use your own judgement based on your preference. Some ovens are a little more powerful or the bulb location in the oven can effect the cooking process as well! I know that most of my family likes things a little crunchy so I cooked ours in multiple batches doing the first batch at 13 minutes (golden with a little chew inside) and the next two batches from 14–16 minutes (golden outer with a chewy crunch). Overall, Kolby and my step brother Grant enjoyed them, as did I! I’m excited for my parents to try them. ☺

I used dairy/soy/nut free mini chocolate chips.

AND doubled the coconut call (we all love coconut)! Also I used organic toasted unsweetened coconut!

ENJOY!

Merry Christmas to all! Love your Christmas Day tomorrow, but please remember to love our Savior’s birthday even more. The gifts are okay, the food is good, family is great, but our God is majestically perfect.
