Notes
1- to avoid a strong coconut flavor, look for refined coconut oil
2- the only ingredient in the peanut butter should be peanuts (and maybe salt). Almond butter also works in this recipe; alternatives have not been tested.
3- honey may be swapped for an equal volume of maple syrup
4- look for rolled oats (also called 'large flake' or 'old fashioned'). Avoid instant, quick or steel cut oats
5- ground flax helps with the structure of these cookies and should not be left out
Storage
