They ended up being delicious. (Even my non coconut eating husband finished off the last of them.)
These simple cookies come together quickly in a food processor. They have no flour in them so there is the added benefit of them being gluten free as well. I thought they looked rather festive for the holidays so I decided to incorporate them into my usual line up of favorite Christmas cookies.

Ok these turned out horribly. I only added 2 cups of oats and they were so crumbly no way they would stick together. I added a square of bakers chocolate melted in another 4 tablespoons of butter, and they BARELY stuck together then, but no way would the coconut stick
ReplyDeleteThese do not sound good with all the unsweetened ingredients, unless you are diabetic!

But riders can typically expect between 6-35 miles of range on a single charge. This simply translates into approximately 3-4 years of life.
