This portion makes around 30 biscuits.
Ingredients:
½ cup coconut oil
½ cup coconut sugar
½ tsp pure Vanilla Extract
4 free range eggs
1/8 tsp Himalayan salt
1 cup coconut flour
½ cup raw cacao nibs-avoid using the unhealthy version of choc chips
¼ cup arrow root or GF corn flour
½ cup shredded coconut
Method:
1. Heat oven to 170-200 C depending on your oven.
2. Mix coconut oil, sugar, vanilla, eggs and salt in a mixing bowl till well combined(being winter at the moment, I found the Coconut oil a bit hard to blend in with the eggs, so you might chose to melt it a little first).
3. Then add all the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until mixture well combined
4. Using a table spoon, scoop up a spoonful at a time into the palm of your hand, and kneed/roll around till well combined and smooth. Then flatten a bit and place on an oven tray covered with some baking paper. Continue this until all mixture is used up. Then at the end, press the biscuits with a fork to decorate. Place in a warm oven and bake 10-15 minutes , or until golden brown.
This recipe makes about 20 standard size cookies
Enjoy.
