I have a similar recipe, and in fact, in all my baking – esp. when I use coconut oil, I need to reduce it by at least 25% in order for it not to be too greasy (or have cookies spread all over). I live near Denver and high altitude baking requires less fat! (Btw, my cookie recipe uses all coconut oil, altho olive oil is healthy too – actually, my understanding is that butter from grass fed cows is also a healthy fat. And that those 3 fats are good variety in that one is short chain, one medium & one long chain fatty acids (if I’m remembering my terminology correctly).)

Coconut saturated fat sources are way better than the regular conventional saturated fats coming from butter and other bad sources of food. If you do a search on google you can learn more about that :-) Thanks for stopping by.

The saturated fat content is off the charts! I think the olive oil is unnecessary and replacing with applesauce or banana would make this recipe better. Otherwise why bother with unrefined sugar and whole wheat flour? lol

I actually did mean unsweetened shredded coconut so thanks for pointing that out.

I am so glad you liked the cookies and that they will be a to go cookie recipe for you :-)

Thanks for visiting my blog!!

I used white whole wheat flour instead of pastry flour because I didn’t have any. I used 1/8 t. salt and loved the bites that had a bit of salt flavor so I may up it next time. I used the specified amounts of both oils and had no trouble with spreading. I used a Tablespoon to measure and they spread to the perfect little-ish size. I used unsweetened coconut and it tasted just fine. Also I just used regular white sugar as I don’t like the texture of the Sucanat I bought, too gritty! I used vanilla but will by coconut extract for next time. These were wonderful! The only other thing I might change next time is reduce the EVOO to 1/3 cup. I love using coconut oil though and coconut in the cookies, great recipe thank you so much! Definitely adding this to the permanent binder!!!

Also in the directions you say to add the coconut extract which I think implies OR vanilla. Thanks again!

I have just made the cookies again and they were fine. The cookies do spread but not so much that they are not edible or not cookie like.

Sorry I can not help you further with your problem.

Maybe if you lived near by we could have baked them together :-)

Regards
