No Bake Thumbprint Cookies

Today I have a recipe for you that is simple, wholesome, tasty and doesn’t even require an oven. 

These cookies are made with unsweetened coconut flakes, raw honey and coconut oil. All three main ingredients are filled with vitamins, minerals and are perfect foods by natures standards.

Here’s what you need...

• 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
• ⅓ cup raw honey, melted
• ¼ cup coconut oil, softened
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• Optional* Organic Vanilla Protein Powder
• Optional* Toppings: dark chocolate, fresh raspberries, fresh strawberries, almond butter, large coconut flakes, chopped nuts

1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the shredded coconut, raw honey, coconut oil, vanilla extract and sea salt. Place in the freezer to chill for 5 minutes. This step is important to help get the cookies to stick together well. Coconut oil hardens as it chills and helps to bind the cookie together.
2. I add a scoop of Vanilla Organic Protein to step 1 because I count my Protein Grams per day and I usually do not eat anything unless it is balanced in the proper protein to carbohydrate ratios. While this is important for my specific goals it may not be for yours. So this step is optional.
3. Shape the dough into 1 Tablespoon-sized balls. Press into a cookie shape, with an indention in the middle. If you have trouble keeping your dough together, or if you simply want a very sturdy cookie, then melt another ¼ cup of coconut oil, then drizzle the oil in the center of your cookie. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes. Now you’ve got a sturdy cookie!
4. Choose your cookie toppings. Fill the thumbprints with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
