Coconut Almond Cookies

There’s nothing quite like having a good snack in the house and what’s better than having a snack that uses real ingredients!

As part of my 2019 intentions, I’m (slowly) trying to wean out packaged snacks and focus on making real-food snacks at home.

I’ve been buying Koukla Delights, which are delicious, but I wanted to create something that I could easily make at home.

Enter Coconut Almond Cookies!

This is a wonderful and satisfying little cookie to snack on throughout the week (if they last that long) and they only have four ingredients!

Ingredients

• 1 cup + 1 tbsp Shredded Coconut
• 1/2 cup Raw Almonds
• 2-4 tbsp Maple Syrup Depending on how sweet you’d like them!
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  Process the coconut and almonds in a food processor until really fine.

  Add the vanilla.

  With the processor running, drizzle in the maple syrup until mixed.

  Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll into balls. Gently press down just to get the bottom a bit flat so they’re not rolling all over on you!

  Bake for about 10 mins. They’ll come out a bit soft but will harden as they cool

  Note! These are great raw too so if you don’t fee like baking, eat them raw!
