These cookies have hints of cinnamon and spice plus yummy peppermint all wrapped up in a soft yet crunchy cookie! Is that possible? All of my favorite things in 1 cookie. DELICIOUS

RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all purpose flour ( you may use gluten free flour. I prefer Bobs 1:1)
2 cups quick cooking rolled oats
1tsp baking soda
1tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup of butter at a room temperature ( I use earth balance)
2 eggs ( I use enter G egg replacer) ( if using gluten free oats use applesauce as egg replacer. This will make the cookies more moist and less dry)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips ( I use dark chocolate)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350
Combine flour, oats, baking soda and cinnamon and set aside.
In a separate bowl beat sugar and butter until mixed well and fluffy, about 2 min
Add egg replacer and vanilla and mix well
Slowly add the flour and oat mixture until combined
Add 1 tbs of water if needed to form into one big ball
Take dough and form into 2” slightly flattened disks
Place onto uncreased baking pan and bake until edges are golden about 8-10 min ( do not cook longer)
Transfer to cooing rack and let cool completely
Once cooled line baking sheet with wax paper
Melt the chocolate.
Dip edge of cookie onto melted chocolate and place on wax paper.
Sprinkle with crushed peppermints and coconut in desired amounts! You can also sprinkle with nuts, and other festive treats!
Serve!
Makes approximately 24 cookies
