Serves: 24 cookies

- ¼ tsp pink Himalayan salt
- 1½ cups spelt flour
- 3 cups oats
- ½ cup dark chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup dried cherries
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine ground flax seed and hot water. Whisk and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the consistency of an egg forms.
- In a large bowl, add flax eggs, coconut oil (melted), sugar, vanilla and maple syrup and whisk until combined.
- Add in dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- Add in oats, chocolate and dried cherries.
- Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown.
- Note: I find it's better to slightly under cook these and let them cool.
