Instructions for Healthy Coconut Caramel Almond Flour Cookies:

1. Preheat and Prepare:

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

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, BioHealth Scout’s Honor Whey Protein Powder, shredded coconut, and sea salt.

3. Add the Wet Ingredients:

Stir in the melted coconut oil, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.

4. Shape the Cookies:

Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Bake:

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.

6. Prepare the Topping:

While the cookies cool, toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

7. Assemble the Cookies:

Once the cookies are cool, drizzle them with the melted chocolate and sprinkle the toasted coconut on top.

8. Enjoy!

Let the chocolate set before serving. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
