# List of Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1¾ cups almond flour
02 - ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
03 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
04 - ¼ teaspoon sea salt

→ Add-Ins
09 - ¾ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
10 - ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, for toasting
# Step-by-step Instructions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Spread ½ cup shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate to cool.
03 - In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, ½ cup shredded coconut, baking soda, and sea salt.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and erythritol until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
06 - Fold in the toasted coconut and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie.
08 - Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers will look slightly soft—do not overbake.
09 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

02 -
- The first time I made these, I skipped toasting the coconut to save time and the cookies were good but missing that next level flavor that makes people ask what's different
- Letting them cool completely on the wire rack transforms the texture from soft baked to that perfect chewy crispy situation

- If your dough feels too soft to scoop, chill it for 15 minutes and it'll handle much better
- Room temperature ingredients make a huge difference in how the dough comes together, so plan ahead
