Coconut Cookies (Sugar-Free)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener (such as stevia or erythritol)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, coconut flour, sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
3. Add the melted coconut oil to the mixture and stir until the dough comes together. The dough should hold together when pressed but not be overly sticky.
4. Take about a tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a ball between your palms. Place the ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the balls about 1 inch apart.
5. Gently flatten each cookie ball with the back of a spoon or your fingertips, shaping them into discs.
6. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
7. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, the sugar-free coconut cookies are ready to enjoy. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Tips and Variations:

• For added flavor and texture, you can mix in chopped sugar-free chocolate, nuts, or dried fruits into the cookie dough before baking.
• Feel free to experiment with different extracts or spices to customize the flavor of your cookies. Almond extract, cinnamon, or cardamom would work well.
• If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can adjust the amount of sugar-free sweetener to your liking.
• These sugar-free coconut cookies make a delightful treat for those following a sugar-free or low-carb lifestyle. They are perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea or as a snack on the go.
