Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 cup almond flour (or almond meal)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
- Add the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until thoroughly combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and slivered almonds. Be careful not to overmix.
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use unsweetened shredded coconut to control the sweetness.
- Melt the coconut oil completely for a smooth texture.
- Don’t overbake; cookies should be slightly soft in the center.
- For richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips with a higher cocoa percentage.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
