Judi's Gluten Free Oatmeal Craisin & Coconut Cookies

    My friend Judi brought these to a Friday night Bible study last year.   They were her own cooking creation. If you've tried her chocolate cake that's listed below, you'll know what an amazing baker she is!  And these cookies were a hit! 

   It was her idea to switch out the coconut oil for butter.  And you know what, it really adds an amazing touch to these cookies.  The flavors of coconut, almonds, and craisins just melt in your mouth!

    Test them at about 10 minutes, they should hold their form when touched.  I like to let my cookies finish on the pan for a few minutes.
