SERVES: 25-30
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup raw almonds, sliced or whole
3/4 cup raw almond butter
3 tbsp shredded coconut, verified Non-GMO and unrefined
3 tbsp raw honey
1/4 tsp sea salt
1-2 tbsp flaxseed meal
INSTRUCTIONS:
If using whole almonds, blend until coarsely chopped in a food processor, about 15 seconds.
Transfer chopped almonds to a large bowl. Add in the remainder of the ingredients and blend well. Keep stirring until a stiff, very chunky dough forms. You may either use a wooden spoon or just your hands to blend the ingredients.
Roll the dough in a walnut size between your palms to form a ball that’s about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. Gently press the ball between your palms to form a cookie. Rinse and dry hands periodically due to stickiness.
Place cookie on a sheet or container with a layer of parchment beneath the cookie, covered, and keep refrigerated for 2-3 weeks. You may place in the freezer and let thaw for just a few minutes.
For garnishing, sprinkle shredded coconut over the cookie or dark chocolate syrup that is actually good for you. Recipe below.
