Tips

As oven temps can vary, you will want to check the cookies before taking them out. Mine were a tiny bit moist in the middle, after 15 minutes.

Cookies that fell apart were put in a bowl with almond milk and eaten like cereal. Delicious!


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a food processor, grind 2˝ cups of the oats, until the consistency of flour. Add the baking powder, salt and cinnamon to the food processor and pulse a few more times to incorporate; set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add lightly beaten eggs, vanilla, sugar, coconut oil, maple syrup and almond milk. Mix well, on medium speed, for about 1 minute. Add the flour mixture and mix well, about 1 minute. Add the remaining unground oats, cranberries, pistachios, and shredded coconut. Stir until incorporated, evenly, scraping the sides, if needed.
Scoop about 2 tablespoon size balls of dough onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. (We use a 1 1/2 Tbsp cookie scoop.)
Bake for 14-15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on cookie sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Store at room temperature for about a week.
