Huckleberry and Walnut Cookies

My husband went on a hike last weekend and picked a good amount of huckleberries.  We've been snacking on them all week, but I thought I should try my hand at a new type of cookie with the fresh, tasty little guys.

I've included two versions of this recipe.  One is how I usually make cookies (with almond flour, coconut oil, etc.) and the other has more common, regularly used ingredients that you might have in your fridge and pantry.
Huckleberry & Walnut Cookies

My Usual Recipe:
2.5 cups Almond Flour
1/2 cups Oat Flour
2 Tbs Flax Meal
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Tbs Vanilla Extract
10 Tbs Coconut Oil
10 Tbs Honey
1/3 cup Walnuts
1/3 cup Huckleberries

Pre-heat the oven to 350°.

Mix the dry ingredients (flours, flax, baking soda, salt) together in a small bowl.  Mix the wet ingredients (vanilla, coconut oil, honey) together in a large bowl.  Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing the entire time.  Fold in walnuts and huckleberries.

Form small balls of dough with your hands, flatten them slightly, and place them on the cookie sheet. 

Bake 12-13 minutes.  Let cookies cool for 3-4 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing them. 

Makes ~30 small cookies.


Recipe With More Common Ingredients:
3 cups flour (white or whole wheat)
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Tbs Vanilla Extract
10 Tbs Butter (softened)
1/2 cup White Sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup Walnuts
1/3 cup Huckleberries (or other fruit like dried cranberries)

Pre-heat the oven to 350°.

Mix the dry ingredients (flours, baking soda, salt) together in a small bowl.  Mix the wet ingredients (vanilla, butter, sugar, eggs) together in a large bowl.  Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing the entire time.  Fold in walnuts and huckleberries.

Form small balls of dough with your hands, flatten them slightly, and place them on the cookie sheet. 

Bake 10-12 minutes.  Let cookies cool for 3-4 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing them. 

Makes ~30 small cookies.
