Almond Flour Coconut, Cashew Cookies(Gluten, Grain, Egg Free)

almondflourcoconutcookies

Cookies are definitely a must in after school snacks along with some protein rich nuts, veggies, fruits and a glass of milk in my household. It is been a while since my kids touched store bought cookies, so I have to make them something interesting each week. This time I decided to add some coconut to the cookie flour and they were so good. Made with protein rich almond flour, casein free clarified butter, coconut and studded with cashew, these are very easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious. I know this is the time of season to bake all different kinds of cookies and cakes. So if you are looking for a gluten free and a delicious and healthy cookie, do try this out  and let me know how you liked them.

Maple syrup is all natural and is taken out of tree sap and doesn’t cause any cavities like sugar, so between sugar and maple syrup the latter is a definitely a better choice. But if you are looking for a sweetener which will not elevate blood sugar xylitol and stevia are the best choice of natural sweeteners.

Preparation Time – 10 Minutes

Cooking Time – 12-15 Minutes

Serves – Makes around 30 Cookies depending on the size

Ingredients

Almond flour - 3 Cups

Coconut - 1/2 Cup (Grated, frozen, thawed to room temperature)

Maple syrup - 1/2 Cup

Clarified Butter(Ghee) - 1/3 cup

Baking soda - 1/2 Tsp

Salt – 1/4 Tsp

Vanilla extract – 1/4 Tsp

Cashews - 30

Method

1) Combine almond flour, baking soda, salt, to this add maple syrup, clarified butter, vanilla extract, grated coconut and make the cookie dough.

2) If you think the cookie dough is too sticky to handle refrigerate for 10 minutes(not more than that).

3) Preheat oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

4) Take out the cookie dough and make 30 equal sized balls and press them gently to form a circle, on top of it stud with a cashew.

5) Bake for 12-15 Minutes till cookies are slightly browned and baked. Cool in a wire rack and store in an airtight container. Holds good for 4 to 5 days at room temperature.almondflourcoconutcookies1
