Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate (70% or more), chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the melted coconut oil until the wet ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Step 5

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth dough forms.

Step 6

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop about 2-tablespoon sized dollops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Step 8

While the cookies are baking, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

Step 9

Once the cookies have cooled on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes, spread the melted chocolate over the flat bottom of each cookie, creating a thin coating.

Step 10

Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
