*Xanthan gum is a stabilizing agent that helps improve the texture of gluten-free baked goods. You can find it in the baking section at grocery stores like Whole Foods or order online. It’s present in many gluten-free flour blends, but since we’re using almond and oat flour in this recipe, we have to add it separately. It’s not completely essential to the recipe, but it definitely makes a difference!

Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup Montmorency dried tart cherries
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, chunks or a bar chopped into pieces
- Flaky sea salt, optional
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 ̊F.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum*, salt, and cinnamon.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream butter. Add coconut sugar, maple syrup and vanilla and continue mixing until well incorporated.
Step 4
Start adding in dry mixture a little at a time (in 3-4 batches). Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Use a spatula to fold in coconut, chocolate and tart cherries. Use a cookie scoop to portion dough and transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Step 6
Gently flatten cookies with the back of a measuring cup. (They will spread some in the oven, but this helps them cook more evenly.)
Step 7
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Optional: sprinkle with flaky sea salt when they come out of the oven. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before enjoying.
