Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
  • In a large bowl, add the honey, maple syrup, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, and egg. Then add the melted coconut oil last and whisk everything immediately. Whisk until the mixture thickens and becomes a bit cloudy.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the baking soda, almond flour, coconut flour, and salt together with a fork.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix with a fork. ( If you are adding sprinkles, add them in now). Let the mixture sit for 3-5 minutes. ( This lets the coconut flour absorb the liquid in the batter ).
  • Put 1 Tbs sized balls of the dough onto the cookie sheet. Roll them into balls in your hands and flatten them a little with your hand when you put them onto the cookie sheet.
  • Cook for 12-15 minutes, then let the cookies cool on the pan. ( Cook time depends on your oven; 13.5 minutes was perfect for me)

Notes

  • *Note: if your batter is runny or too runny to roll into balls, add a little more flour until the texture is thicker.
  • * Make sure that you melt the coconut oil prior to measuring it! That is key.
  • * When mixing the wet ingredients together, add the coconut oil last. You don't want the melted coconut oil to harden and clump, which it tends to do if it touches anything cold.
  • * Make sure to pack the almond flour and coconut flour. That means that you scoop it from the bag of flour and push it into the measuring cup. This packs in the flour and there is more of it this way.
  • * Let batter sit 3-5 minutes prior to rolling the cookies into balls so that the coconut flour can absorb the liquid in the batter properly.
  • * You can add sprinkles to the dough prior to baking these cookies to make a fun funfetti version of these cookies.
