¼ cup goji berries (these were not in the original recipe, so don't feel obligated... but they are good!) (here's a bag)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a mixer bowl, place the shortening and egg and mix until well combined.
Add the honey and vanilla and mix until creamy.
In a separate small bowl, combine the cinnamon, nutmeg, almond meal, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and flax meal.
Add these dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix for about one minute, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Add the coconut, raisins, and goji berries and mix again until combined, about one minute.
Using a tablespoon, place balls of dough onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. You should end up with about 2 dozen balls.
Wet your palm and gently flatten each ball. I like my cookies kind of thick, so I didn't flatten mine too much.
Bake for 6 minutes, then swap the tray positions so they will evenly cook. Then cook for 4 minutes and then swap again and cook for another 4 minutes. Then repeat for 3 minutes in each position.
*This is how long my cookies took to bake; be aware and check the cookies often -- if they are thinner than mine were (see how thick mine are in the photos), they will cook faster. The original recipe calls for 12 minutes total cooking time.
