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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion the dough. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten slightly to form a cookie shape.
Step 4
If desired, sprinkle extra lemon zest or shredded coconut on top for garnish.
Step 5
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 6
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
