Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of rolled oats and 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut. Stir together until evenly mixed, ensuring there are no clumps.
  2. In a small saucepan, add ½ cup of honey and ⅓ cup of coconut oil. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly for about 3-5 minutes until both are fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add the zest of 1 lemon, ¼ cup of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the melted mixture. Stir well to combine.
  4. Pour the melted mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula, mix thoroughly until all the oats and coconut are evenly coated.
  5. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and place them onto a lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each mound slightly.
  6. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
