Spicy Pear Cookies in 27 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Place diced pears, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears break down and the liquid reduces into a thick, jam-like paste. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened coconut oil and coconut sugar until smooth and pale.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Fold in the cooled pear reduction until the mixture is velvety.
6. Stir in the baking soda, ginger, cloves, and salt.
7. Gradually fold in the rolled oats and flour until no dry streaks remain.
8. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment.
10. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
11. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are mahogany-colored and the centers are set.
12. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
