Bob's Red Mill Cookies

I'm such a fan of Bob's Red Mill products. The problem is that it's pretty spendy. Recently, to my surprise, I discovered that Big Lots buys Bob's and sells it for half price of what it sells for in the grocery stores!
I bought the Organic Whole Grain High Fiber Hot Cereal to try out for healthy breakfasts, when I found this recipe on the side. Today we made them to take to a party and they are divine!
Here's the recipe with my tweaks.

1/4 cup Softened Butter
1/2 cup Evaporated Can Juice Sugar (I used slightly less)
1/3 cup Milk (any)
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 to 3/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Shredded Coconut
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/8 tsp Sea Salt
1 scoop Protein Powder (any)
3/4 cup Chocolate Chips (optional, not in original recipe)

Preheat oven to 350. Beat together butter and sugar til well blended. Add milk and vanilla and mix til smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cereal, coconut, baking powder, and salt. Pour dry ingredients into the wet and mix until just combined. Scoop by the tablespoon onto a greased cookie sheet and pat down slightly.
Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.

DISCLAIMER: These cookies aren't low calorie, but they are high fiber and high protein. Also, they're great for people like me who have a wheat sensitivity, but they AREN'T fat free or gluten free.

Enjoy!
