Ingredients

  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1/4 cup drippy almond butter usually from a newly opened jar & NOT near the bottom OR preferred nut or seed butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil softened at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup golden monk fruit sweetener OR coconut sugar for Paleo
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/3 cup super fine blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
  • 2-3 tablespoons sugar free OR paleo chocolate chips optional
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone liner.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg, almond butter and coconut oil until creamy and smooth. Add the monk fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and baking powder. Beat until combined.
  3. Stir in almond flour, coconut flour and shredded coconut until everything is just combined. Fold in sliced almonds, chopped pecans, sunflower seeds and chocolate chips (if using).
  4. Scoop out 2 tablespoon sized dough mounds (for smaller cookies - makes 12) OR 1/4 cup dough mounds (for larger cookies - makes 6) and place at least 1 inch apart on baking sheet. Flatten tops slightly with the back of the measuring cup or the bottom of a jar. Sprinkle tops with sesame seeds and more shredded coconut, for garnish, if desired.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and just barely firm to the touch.
  6. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheets completely. Cookies can be frozen in a large resealable bag up to 3 months.
