Life-Changing Gluten-Free Vegan Cowboy Cookies
Soft, pillowy gluten-free and vegan cowboy cookies that melt in your mouth. Filled with dark chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut shreds, and oats!
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil softened (not melted)
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ¼ cups gluten-free flour blend I recommend Bob's Red Mill 1-1, it works excellently in this recipe!
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup walnut pieces
- ½ cup chocolate chips ensure vegan
Instructions
- Make sure the coconut oil is solid, but soft; not melted. Cream coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla with a mixer in a large bowl.
- Add gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt to the mixture. Mix thoroughly.
Add oats and shredded coconut and mix until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. - Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, until hardened through. If you don't chill the dough for long enough, the cookies will spread.
- Preheat oven to 350F. After chilling, scoop spoonfuls of dough and shape into flattened, thick discs, as they will not spread much. Bake for 11-12 minutes. Cookies will still look soft when you take them out but let them cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
