Craisy Cho-Conut Bliss Cookies

Ingredients:
water, bottled, generic
seeds, flaxseed
sugars, granulated
shortening confectionery, coconut (hydrogenated) and or palm kernel (hydrogenated)
shortening confectionery, coconut (hydrogenated) and or palm kernel (hydrogenated)
orange juice, raw
honey
shortening confectionery, coconut (hydrogenated) and or palm kernel (hydrogenated)
raisins, seeded
spartan, real semi-sweet chocolate baking chips,

Directions:
Make the date paste ahead of time, as listed in steps 2-6.
Pour 1 cup water into a 2-qt.
saucepan and bring to a boil.
Pour pitted dates into boiling water and let boil for 5 minutes, to soften dates.
Remove dates from heat, add orange juice, honey, and coconut oil, and let cool until comfortably warm to the touch.
Pour dates and liquid into a blender or food processor, and process until smooth.
Let the mixture cool.
If it is still warm, you can refrigerate it.
(If it is still warm when you mix it, the chocolate chips will melt!
).
Preheat oven to 350F.
Prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper or SilPat.
Pour 1/2 cup water into a cup, and stir in flax meal (or Psyllium Fiber Powder).
Allow to sit for 5 minutes or so, to thicken.
Put coconut flour and shredded coconut into a large mixing bowl.
(I use a KitchenAid stand mixer.)
Whisk or mix these together.
Add flax gel and date paste to the mixing bowl with the coconut and blend well.
Add in the Craisins and chocolate chips (or whatever mixins you prefer), and mix well.
(These amounts were used because they were entire packages, but you can increase or reduce these, as well as add nuts or other fun things.
).
Drop by teaspoonful or melon baller/cookie scoop, or roll into a log and slice.
Flatten if desired.
Put cookies on prepared pans.
(These do not spread, so you can put them close together.
).
Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes, or until cookies are nicely browned.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes or so before removing from cookie sheet.
(This is difficult -- These are SO good warm -- ).
