Almond Coconut Cookies
Makes 2 dozen
INGREDIENTS
1 stick salted butter, softened
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
PROCEDURE
Put the butter, maple syrup, almond flour, coconut, baking soda and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium, scraping down the sides of the bowl often, until completely smooth and fluffy. Alternatively, mix the dough in a bowl with the back of a wooden spoon, spreading the dough up against the sides of the bowl until completely smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips. Chill in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 3 hours or covered overnight. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Scoop the dough, by the tablespoon, onto a parchment lined cookie sheet, spacing the cookies about 1-2 inches apart. Gently flatten the top of each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden around the edges. Let cool slightly before serving.
These cookies are best eaten fresh. The dough will keep in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for a little longer.
