Magic Cookies
Ingredients:
1 ½ cup cashews
1 ½ cups unsweetened coconut flakes
¾ cup chocolate chips
3-4 graham crackers (crushed)
¾ can (11-12 oz) coconut condensed milk (or regular condensed milk)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. In a bowl mix together all of the ingredients and coat well with the coconut condensed milk. Make large spoonfuls of the mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet, making sure to give ample room because the coconut condensed milk spreads. Bake for 15-16 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven. If the coconut milk has spread, take a spoon and gently push it towards the cookie.
DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKIES for 10 minutes or so, you need to let them cool, so the condensed milk hardens!

- 2 tablespoons flax-seed meal (can be found at any local health food store)
