Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup fine almond flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp finely diced pecans for inside the cookie
- 1-2 tbsp roughly chopped pecans for the top of the cookie
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F or 177C. Grease baking sheet.
- Mix all your dry ingredients. Almond and tapioca flour, coconut sugar, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and finely diced pecans.
- Add in your egg, coconut oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Continue to mix until you have large coarse crumbs. It will seem like there will not be enough liquid but once you knead the dough it will come together.
- Knead the dough until you have a nice ball of dough.
- Each cookie will be 1 tablespoon of dough. Using your tablespoon to scoop out and roll dough into a ball. Dip one side of the ball in your roughly chopped pecans. Place on baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is rolled and dipped in pecans.
- Use your hand to flatten the cookies down a bit. This will help for the pecans on top to stick. They will rise a bit when baking.
- Bake for 10-12 mins. They will continue to firm up as they cool. Do not overbake.
Notes
****You could also add some chocolate chips to the top before you bake them if you want a chocolate fix!
****Store any leftovers in the fridge. They are yummy cold.
