How to Make Coconut Almond Cookies

PIN IT

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. In a bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt.
3. Whisk wet ingredients: honey/maple, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Pour onto dry, stir gently until dough forms—slightly sticky.
5. Use a tablespoon scoop (or hands) to form dough balls; place on sheet ~2″ apart.
6. Press lightly to flatten each cookie about ½″ thick.
7. Bake 10–12 minutes, or until edges begin to turn golden.
8. Cool on the sheet a few minutes, transfer to a wire rack to fully cool—they crisp as they cool.

Let that aroma fill your kitchen—pure joy!

What to Serve with Coconut Almond Cookies

• A creamy latte, herbal tea, or chilled almond milk.
• Fresh berries or sliced stone fruit for brunch.
• Vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream for an indulgent twist.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Almond Flour: Use fine, blanched almond flour—not coarse almond meal.
• Moisture check: If dough’s crumbly, add a dash more honey/maple; if overly wet, add a teaspoon of almond flour.
• Flattening: Ensure even thickness for uniform crispness.
• Watch the edges: Pull them at a hint of gold to avoid over-bake.

Storage Instructions

• Room temp: Store in airtight container up to 4 days.
• Fridge: Keeps crisp up to 7 days.
• Freezing: Freeze cooled cookies in single layer; store for 2–3 months. Thaw before eating.
• Re-crisp hack: Warm in a 300 °F oven for 3–5 minutes if they soften.
