Getting CocoNUTTY!

Well my fellow FOODIES, I have finally fallen in love with coconut oil.  I know, I know, join the club.  But, really, it's amazing and tastes so good in everything!

Case in point: 

Coconut Cookies

Take out butter and replace with coconut oil= AMAZING!

Go ahead, try it!  I DARE YOU NOT TO LOVE IT!

(unless, of course, you don't like coconut, because then  you would really not like these at all)

Ingredients:
*1 cup coconut oil (measured solid and softened in microwave for about 30 seconds)
*1 cup brown sugar
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 2 eggs
* 2 tsp vanilla
* 2 1/4 cups flour
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1 cup oatmeal
* Extras (shredded coconut, choc chips, white choc chips, nuts, etc)

DIRECTIONS:

*Using the paddle attachment, blend together coconut oil and sugars until well whipped- 3-5 minutes.  Add in eggs, one at a time and vanilla just until blended.

* Pour in half the flour plus the baking soda, salt and baking powder.  Blend just until blended.  Add in the rest of the flour and blend until combined.  Stir in oats and extras.

* Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.

*ENJOY the best cookie that's semi-healthy of your life!
