Joz's Special Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/4 cup real butter
1/4 cup grapeseed oil or olive oil
1/2 cup xylitol (or sugar or sweetner of your choice)
1 large egg
2 Tbsp almond or rice or any nut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup almond meal or oatmeal (if using oatmeal I prefer to blend up the oats first into a finer material.)
1 1/2 cups whole wheat or whole wheat pastry flour (you can also do 1 cup of whole wheat plus 1/2 cup of brown rice flour or perhaps 1/2 cup of oatmeal flour; experimentation is half the fun).
1/3 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
3/4 tsp baking powder
1 generous cup chocolate chips

Blend butter, oil, and sugar until smooth. Add egg, milk and vanilla.

In a second bowl, mix almond meal, coconut, flour(s) and baking powder. Add chocolate chips to this mix.

Blend both mixes together. A soft dough is created. If it is too sticky, add more flour.

Place by teaspoons onto baking tray. I tend to flatten mine ever so slightly before placing them on the baking tray. Bake at 350° F for at least 10 minutes for soft cookies or 15 minutes for crisp cookies (I like to cook them for 13 min.)

Picture to come later!

So what is it that makes them "special"? Is it that "Joz" gets to fly out and make them for us?!?!? SO good to finally see a post, even if it is a recipe. =)
