Ingredients

4 1/2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 and 1/2 cups instant oats
1/4 cup wheat germ
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
36 semi-sweet chocolate chips (I press 3 on top of each cookie)

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
In a large bowl combine the honey and melted coconut oil and whisk smooth. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating smooth after addition. Whisk in vanilla and apple sauce. All at once add in both oats, wheat germ, dried cranberries, pecans, apricots, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt; gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until evenly combined. Cover the bowl and chill for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

When you're ready to bake:

Preheat oven to 325 (F). Scoop a 3 tablespoon sized potions of the mixture into your palm and roll it into a large ball. Press the cookie down onto the prepared sheet and using your palm flatten the cookie down to 1/4 inch (the cookies do not spread at all while baking); repeat with all cookie dough. Bake for 18 minutes. Press 3 chocolate chips down on the top of each cookie right when they come out of the oven. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or transferring
