Oatmeal & Date Cookies

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.  Cover 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, oats, shredded coconut, baking soda and chopped walnuts. Make a well in the center. Set aside.

3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the coconut oil, sugar, egg, vanilla and salt using a hand whisk. When it is well blended, pour into the well in the flour mixture and mix well with a spatula. Fold in the chopped dates.

4. Using 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie, spoon the dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared sheets. Bake in the center of the oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and set on racks. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes.
