Ingredients
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup flaxseed meal (ground flaxseeds)
1/2 cup hulled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
3/4 cup large unsweetened coconut flakes
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 cup unsweetened dried cherries or cranberries, chopped
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat oil and brown sugar in a bowl on medium speed until well combined, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; beat until combined. Stir in remaining ingredients until well combined. Refrigerate dough until firm, about 1 hour.
Drop heaping tablespoons of dough, 2 inches apart, onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until golden, rotating sheets halfway through, 13 to 14 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack before removing from sheets. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 days.
