• 1/2 cup Swerve sugar substitute
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup dried cherries

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl cream 1/4 cup dark agave nectar, 1/2 cup Swerve sugar substitute, 1/2 cup coconut oil. After a few minutes add 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.

In another bowl, sift 1 cup gluten free all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.

Combine creamed mixture with dry, with a wooden spoon add 1 1/2 cups gluten free whole oats, 2 tablespoons flaxseed, 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup dried cherries.

These bake a little faster than usual cookies I baked them on convection at 325. The base browns quick so it's ok to take them out a little early even if they look a tad underdone. Enjoy!
