Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup flaked coconut

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

6 Tbs. (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, at room

temperature

1 very ripe banana, mashed

1 egg, at room temperature

1/2 cup chopped dried apricots or golden raisins

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat an oven to 325°F. Lightly grease 1 or 2 baking sheets or line each with a Silpat nonstick liner.

In a bowl, stir together the flour, coconut, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a large bowl, cream the brown sugar and butter with a wooden spoon until fluffy. Add the banana and egg and beat with a fork until blended. Stir in the flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, then stir in the apricots and walnuts.

Spoon the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet(s), spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes, switching pan positions halfway through baking if 2 pans were used.

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet(s) on a wire rack for about 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to the rack and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Makes about 18 cookies.

I will use half ground almonds instead of flour only and you can replace the butter with low fat cream or just cut on the amount of butter and use half craem and half butter. I have done that with several of my own recipes. It is more digestable and healthy. Specialy for peaple with digestive problems. I don't know how it will affect the allocated points but it is worth the try
