Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 6 medjool dates (pitted)
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, and sea salt. Pulse until evenly mixed and the coconut begins to break down slightly.
Add the pitted medjool dates, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the food processor. Blend until the mixture forms a sticky dough that holds together when pressed between your fingers.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion the dough. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten slightly to form a cookie shape.
If desired, sprinkle extra lemon zest or shredded coconut on top for garnish.
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
