Ingredients
• 1 cup / 112g Blanched almond flour
• ⅓ cup / 30g Unsweetened shredded coconut
• ⅓ cup / 64g Granulated erythritol
• ½ tsp Baking powder
• ¼ cup / 22g Unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ cup / 60ml Coconut oil, melted

• ¼ tsp Fine sea salt

Instructions
1. Preparation Method
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, shredded coconut, erythritol, baking powder, cocoa powder, coconut flour, and salt until well combined.
4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil, room temperature eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet into the dry and mix until a uniform dough forms.
5. Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion the dough and roll it into 20 evenly-sized balls.
6. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.

Pro Tips
• The cookies will seem soft when they come out of the oven but will firm up as they cool on the baking sheet. Be careful not to overbake, as this can make them dry.
• For an extra decadent treat, mix in ¼ cup of sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped walnuts into the dough before rolling.
• Ensure your eggs are at room temperature. This helps them blend more evenly into the batter, creating a smoother, more uniform cookie texture.
• Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They also freeze beautifully for a quick grab-and-go snack.
