Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, lime juice, and lime zest until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until a sticky dough forms. Ensure that the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the wet mixture.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each dough ball slightly with your palm or the back of a fork to create a cookie shape.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Candied Lime Almond Coconut Cookies as a delightful treat with a refreshing citrus flavor!
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your coconut oil is properly melted but not hot, and ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture.
- Don't Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until the dough comes together to keep the cookies tender.
- Uniform Cookie Size: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon for consistent sizing, which ensures even baking.
- Watch Baking Time Closely: Every oven is different, so start checking at 12 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to help them set properly.
- Zest Tip: Use fresh lime zest for the most vibrant citrus flavor - the more fragrant, the better!
- Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their delightful texture and taste.
