Coconut "Chocolate" Chip Cookies

I LOVE COOKIES! NOM NOM NOM! COOKIE, COOKIE, MUST HAVE COOKIE!!

Okay, so, you may have gathered that I love cookies. I have a major sweet tooth but cannot have sugar! It's so dang hard! I am constantly trying out new things in the kitchen! Cookies and cookie dough are always my "go to" dessert when I'm hankerin' for something sweet. Which is almost daily. COOKIE!!!!!!!

So, a few months back, I got creative and came up with my favorite cookie recipe so far. I initially used buckwheat flour but ran out, so if you don't have the buckwheat or want a "white" cookie, use the regular Namaste PFB and add an egg, I do that often. The buckwheat is for extra protein which makes the cookie have a better consistency and it also doesn't get crumbly. This makes a soft, almost store bought sugar cookie type texture. I LOVE IT!  You'll see "combined coconut and olive oils," I use half and half since my dad's doctor told him that the coconut oil tends to up that cholesterol level, but I like the flavor of it; so I use half and half with olive oil, which is healthier.

Without any further ado, here it goes!

Coconut "Chocolate" Chip Cookies

2 large eggs
3/4 cup combined olive and coconut oils, melt the coconut oil (I believe its 6 tbs each)
35 drops vanilla liquid stevia
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (if you can have the sugar, I would suggest vanilla flavored!)
4 tsp stevia powder
1/4 tsp each baking powder and soda
1 cup Namaste Perfect Flour Blend
3/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup unsweetened carob chips

Option: 1/2 pecans or walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Whip eggs with whisk, then add oils and whisk. Whip in liquid stevia and yogurt.

Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and stir well before stirring into the liquid. I use a wooden spoon since I don't have a coveted KitchenAid mixer... Then fold in shredded coconut and carob chips, stir well. If you opt to have nuts, fold those in now.

Drop onto cookie sheet by spoonfuls. I try to shape mine in circles at this point. These do not spread like sugary cookies do, so make them the thickness and size you want them to be, they aren't going anywhere.

Bake at 350 for about 10-15 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack.

I think Cookie Monster would be proud! :)
