# Step-by-step Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, shredded coconut, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, egg, vanilla extract, and syrup until smooth.
04 - Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
05 - Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
06 - Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
07 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Stir together melted coconut butter and maple syrup until smooth. If too thick, microwave for 10 seconds or add a tiny splash of warm water.
09 - Drizzle the coconut butter mixture over cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag. Allow drizzle to set before serving.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get that genuine bakery texture with a soft center and slightly crisp edge without the sugar crash.
- The coconut butter drizzle transforms a simple nut flour base into something truly elegant.
02 -
- Coconut butter hardens when it touches cold surfaces, so keep it warm while you are drizzling.
- The cookies might look underbaked when you take them out, but they firm up significantly as they cool.
03 -
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size so they all bake at the same speed.
- If the coconut butter is too solid to stir, microwave the jar for twenty seconds with the lid off.
