Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a sticky dough forms. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the moisture to fully absorb.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form a cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your yummiest coconut cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
