Equipment

  • 2 bowls
  • 1 cookie scoop - 1.5 inch in diameter
  • 1 Baking tray

Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients

  • 160 grams almond flour, 1 1/2 cups
  • 80 grams shredded coconut (desiccated), 1 cup
  • 50 grams cacao powder, 1/2 cup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 120 ml maple syrup or honey, 1/3 cup
  • 3 tablespoon ghee (melted), butter, or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F (176C)
  2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  3. In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut, cacao, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, vanilla, maple syrup, and ghee.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until everything is incorporated.
  6. Using a cookie scoop 1.5 inches in diameter or a spoon, scoop out the amount you want into the parchment paper. Press them gently to flatten. They should end up being about 2 inches in diameter. You don't need to leave much space between the cookies, they won't spread.
  7. You can top each cookie with almonds, sprinkle sea salt, or leave it as it is.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  9. When ready, transfer them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
