Notes
Makes 30 -36 cookies depending on how large each cookie dough is on the cookie sheet. Cooking Time: Always check the cookies at the lowest cooking time setting as everyone's oven is calibrated differently. You don't want to cook these until they are crisp and hard as they will continue to cook about two minutes after you take them out. Check the Oats: Make sure that your oats are from a facility that is not contaminated with gluten if you are gluten free. Freezer Friendly: These cookies can be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months. Double Recipe: Double the recipe if you would like to make extra cookies for a cookie swap, bake sale, etc. No changes need to be made. Proper Measurement: When baking, always take the time to measure correctly. Nothing stinks more than when you spent the time, effort and money to make a batch of cookies that tanked. More often than not, it is the use of too much flour that is not measured correctly. Make sure you spoon in your flour into the measuring cup and level off with the back of a butter knife. We've all seen this done and when making coconut flour cookies, this is especially important as they can produce a naturally drier cookie so we don't need to add to that. If you aren't sure how to measure correctly or need a refresher, we wrote about it here.Oil Substitution: In most recipes, you can readily substitute coconut oil as a 1:1 measurement for Crisco shortening. For this recipe, you can definitely make this substitution. Make sure, however, that you are using the solid form of coconut oil as your substitute.
