Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup / 100g Stevia sweetener
• 1 tablespoon / 15 ml pure vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preparation
2. Preheat your oven to 320°F / 160°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, shredded coconut, eggs, Stevia sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix with a spatula or your hands until a uniform, thick dough forms.
4. Scoop the dough by the heaped teaspoon (about 1 tablespoon) and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each one.
5. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
