4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup unsalted nut butter (almond butter, peanut butter, etc.)
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup coconut flour

1 recipe No-Bake Cookie Base (from above)
1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
¾ cup raisins
½ tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

No-Bake Cookie Base
1. In a food processor, blend coconut until it resembles the smooth and creamy consistency of almond butter (you are making coconut butter), stopping the machine to scrape down the sides several times. This will take about 10 minutes.
2. To the coconut butter, add nut butter, maple syrup, coconut flour, almond milk and salt. Blend until a dough forms. Transfer dough to a large bowl.

No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies
1. To the cookie base, add chocolate chips and mix well.
2. Scoop 2- to 3-Tbsp portions of dough onto a cookie sheet. Roll dough into balls and sprinkle with flaky salt.
3. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 2 hours.
4. Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months. These taste best cold.

No-Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
1. To the cookie base, add oats, raisins and cinnamon and mix well. If the mixture seems too dry to compress (flours vary in absorbency), add an additional 1 Tbsp or more of almond milk.
2. Scoop 2- to 3-Tbsp portions of dough onto a cookie sheet. Roll dough into balls and then slightly press down with the palm of your hand.
3. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 2 hours.
