1 1/2 cups white flour or whole wheat pastry flour (i used wheat flour from Henry's farmers market)
1 heaping TB arrowroot or cornstarch (i used arrowroot also from Henry's)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup flaked coconut (i used shredded coconut instead)
approx 1/4-1/3 cup semisweet choc chips
1/2 cup oil
2/3 cup maple syrup (i used honey instead)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp orange extract (this makes the cookies very citrus tasting, i probably would leave out next time)
1. Mix dry ingredients together.
2. Stir wet ingredients together well and add to the dry. (Optional: 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts)
3. Form balls of dough ~2" in diameter, place on parchment lined sheets and flatten.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-16 minutes until lightly browned.
This recipe can be doubled.
