Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened dried coconut
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup oat flour (make by blending rolled oats in your food processor or substitute with your favorite flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- Egg wash (1 egg + 2 Tbsp cool water whisked together)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350º
Cream coconut oil about 2 minutes in a stand mixer or just until fluffy.
Add ½ the coconut, flours, and baking powder and continue to mix on low.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix until a nice dough ball is formed.
Roll out dough about ¼” thick, as it will be delicate to work with until baked and cooled.
Cut out into simple shapes, coat with egg wash, then sprinkle with coconut flakes.
Bake at 350º for 18 minutes or until just starting to turn golden brown around the edges.
