Oatmeal Coconut Chews

created by Snacking Squirrel

I was in the baking mood and created some delicious Oatmeal Coconut Chew 

Cookies inspired by traditional Chinese Chews (without the addition of walnuts)

Ingredients

1 cup oats or cooking oats

1 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup tapioca flour

1/2 cup icing sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup vegan margarine

1/2 cup almond milk

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 whole egg (beaten)

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp sea salt

Dash cinnamon

Directions

A. Preheat oven to 350-360 Degrees Fahrenheit

B. Combine dry and wet ingredients separately

C. Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix together

D. Spoon onto a greased baking sheet or line with parchment paper

E. Bake for 20-25 minutes until light-medium brown

Let cool for about 10-15 minutes, then enjoy!

They're chewy but still soft enough to be called a cookie

You can add nuts if you'd like for some extra crunch

Makes 6 large or 12 small chews
