Gluten Free Oatmeal Apricot Cookies


Yield: 
40 cookies

A cookie for "the cookie lover". Will never know it's healthier than the average cookie! Gluten free, dairy free, no eggs, no refined cane sugar. Salut!

Ingredients: 
1 cup gluten free rolled oats
2 cups gluten free all purpose baking flour (Bob's Red Mill)
1 1/2 teaspoons aluminum free baking power
1/2 teaspoon white sea salt
1/2 teaspoon organic ground corriander
2 teaspoons organic ground cinnamon
1 cup organic pecans chopped
1 cup organic unsulphered Turkish apricots diced
1/2 cup organic brown rice syrup
1/2 cup organic maple syrup (may substitute maple flavored brown rice syrup)
2 teaspoons organic vanilla extract
1/4 cup organic safflower oil
1/4 cup organic extra virgin olive oil

Directions: 

In a large mixing bowl, combine ingredients in the order listed, mixing thoroughly after addition of each ingredient. Place in refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours (overnight works well). This allows oils to solidify so that cookies hold thier shape when baked. Before baking, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover stainless steel baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper or silicon baking pad. Place large tablespoon drops of cookie dough onto baking sheet, allowing 1-2 inches between cookies. Place baking sheet with cookies in oven and bake for 25 minutes, until cookie edges appear light brown. Remove cookies from the oven and cool. Bon appetite!

After completely cooled, cookies can be frozen and re-warmed for a tasty treat.
