Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup refined organic coconut oil melted (unrefined coconut oil will add a coconut taste, so use that if you want the coconut flavor)
  • 1/3 cup organic maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon organic lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
  • 1 1/3 cups organic almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons organic coconut flour sifted if lumpy
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together the coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon zest and lemon extract.
  • Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt.
  • The mixture might be thin and wet and much more like batter than dough. Don’t worry if it is. Do not add any additional flour!
  • Chilling will firm it up, if necessary. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes and then place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the dough is firm.
  • Roll cookies into 1″ – 2″ balls and slightly flatten.
  • Place 3″ apart on the prepared baking sheet and press the balls down slightly with your palm.
  • For smaller cookies, bake for 8 – 10 minutes; larger sized cookies will need 12-15 minutes until the cookies have lightly browned.
  • The cookies may crackle a little, that’s fine.
  • The cookies will still be very soft when you remove them from the oven. Let them cool on the pan completely.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
