Crispy cookies made w/ coconut butter & zero flour! These cookies have a true “buttery” flavor and are stuffed w/ shredded coconut & dark chocolate chips. Gluten-free, paleo, vegan, and refined sugar-free!
Ingredients
  • ¾ c. coconut butter (check my recipe index for a homemade version)
  • ¼ c. all-natural, no-stir almond butter (I used crunchy, but smooth works just fine)
  • 1 c. coconut sugar
  • 1 t. baking soda
  • ½ t. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg (for vegan version 1 flax egg= 1 T. flaxseed meal + 2 T. water, mix let sit for five minutes)
  • 1 c. unsweetened, shredded coconut
  • dark chocolate chips (I used 70% cacao), as needed
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut butter, almond butter, sugar, baking soda, vanilla, and egg/flax egg until everything is incorporated & a large ball of dough begins to form.
  3. Fold in the shredded coconut.
  4. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Slightly press 2-3 dark chocolate chips into the top of each cookie.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool completely on the sheet so that they can crisp up.
