instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place a sheet of parchment paper onto a large baking sheet.
  • Combine all dry ingredients into a medium size mixing bowl: almond flour, salt and baking soda.
  • Melt coconut oil in microwave.
  • Whisk together all wet ingredients into a separate bowl: coconut oil, almond butter, honey, vanilla extract and water. Mix until everything is evenly combined. Takes a minute whipping the almond butter all the way into the mixture.
  • Add wet ingredient mixture into dry ingredients. Mix with a rubber spatula until combined.
  • Fold in coconut shreds and chocolate chips.
  • Scoop out a spoonful size amount and roll into a ball. Place on cookie sheet. Take a fork and press down on top of cookie to partially flatten (see images). Repeat for all cookies.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Place in oven and cook for 10 minutes or until slightly golden brown on edges. They will look a little soft and harden once you remove from the oven. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to baking rack to finish cooling.
