Gluten Free Coconut Almond Cookies
Happy Saturday!
I was supposed to go out and explore estate sales this morning, but Grumples is still sick 🙁 I decided to plant myself at home and do some gardening, or some other projects around the house. I also thought it would be a very good time to blog about some delicious cookies I made last week, while I’m cuddled up next to him. 
Coconut and almond are one of my favorite combos. I could eat macaroons every day if it were healthy! I decided to make a macaroon inspired cookie (without the chocolate) to help curb the cravings. AND THESE WERE DELICIOUS, ESPECIALLY WITH COFFEE. <– you knew that was coming.
If you want to get fancy, you could dip the bottoms of these cookies in dark chocolate.
Ingredients:
*1/2 Cup Coconut Flour, *1/2 Cup Almond Flour, *1/2 Cup All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour, *1/3 Cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut, *1 Teaspoon Baking Soda, *2 Teaspoons Baking Powder, *1/4 Cup Honey, *1 Packet Stevia, *1 *Teaspoon Vanilla Extract, *2 Teaspoons *Almond Extract, *2 Large Eggs, *3 Tablespoons Almond Milk *1/4 Cup Coconut Oil, *Melted, 1/4 Teaspoon Sea Salt, and *Sliced Almonds for the Top!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, shredded coconut, sea salt, and stevia together in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the coconut almond extract, vanilla extract, almond milk, and eggs.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and combine.
Mix in the coconut oil and honey. 
Grease a baking sheet. Drop tablespoon sized dough onto the baking sheet. You will need to use your hands to form the cookies.
Drizzle a teaspoon of honey on top, a sprinkle of almonds and sea salt. 
Bake for 17-19 minutes. The bottoms of the cookies will be slightly brown. Just keep an eye one them because all ovens cook differently. 
This recipe makes 22 tablespoons sized cookies.

Questions for you!
- What are you up to this weekend?
- Have you ever made a cookie inspired by your favorite dessert?
These look delicious! I can’t wait to try them. Are you gluten free because of an intolerance?
Hi, Caroline!
I hope you enjoy this recipe.
I wrote all about why I went gluten free on this blog post!

Thank you, Charmaine!
This looks sooo good! I just got done with my second round of Whole30, so it’s always great to find a healthy cookie recipe!! ?❤
Hi, Kaylan!
Nice job on the Whole30!! My mom likes to do that.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!

These cookies look delicious! I recently just made some breakfast cookies with leftover bananas that tasted great, they just weren’t that pretty. But they were GF and vegan! I know you just did the post on how to start a blog but I’ve always wondered how do you create all of your adorable headers? They look great!
Hi Ashton!
Sometimes banana cookies look ugly because of the brown color, but they DEF taste awesome!
I usually use pic monkey for my headers!
These look so good – I hope you have a fab weekend!
You have inspired me to try and make mint chocolate cookies ( I love mint chocolate ice cream!) x

Hi, Izzy!
Please share that mint chocolate chip cookie recipe when you’re done!! Sounds incredible.
xo
I love anything with oreo crust crushed in it(not that I eat that!) and anything minty and chocolate-y!
My weekend is going to be filled with some homework like essay writing, and if it’s not too cold outside, maybe some running! Tonight there’s also a social event and I’m not sure if I have the guts to go. #yaysocialanxiety!
Hi, Linda! Hope you had a great weekend 🙂
Social anxiety is a pretty common thing, so no worries!
xo &enjoy your run!
Oh no, first Leo now poor Grumples?!
Hoping he gets better really quick! I’m sure he appreciated your cuddles today 🙂
I cannot stand the feeling of either almonds or coconut in my teeth (but I love the flavor of both, I’m weird about the texture of things in my teeth haha), but these look really good!

Hey, Brooklyn!
Feeling like a can’t catch a break lately. He seems to be doing better, so that is good!
Hahaha that is so funny. Textures have never bothered me. But the combo of the two is so delicious. Let’s hope you won’t get the weird texture with the flavors in a cookie form!
YUM these look so good! I’m adopting a gluten free lifestyle as well – hoping it will help manage my PCOS!

Hi, Sharni!
I’ve heard a lot of good things about giving up gluten while living with PCOS. One of my friends has it and eating gluten free has helped her a lot.
xo xo
Can’t wait to make these! Love your blog 🙂
Thank you! xo
these turned out great!
So glad! 🙂
They look delicious.
Thank you! 🙂
I’ve been waiting for this recipe all week! Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome!
Loved these. I used maple syrup instead of honey and they tasted great!
So happy to hear that!
Made these last night and they were awesome! I like dipping them in almond milk 🙂
SO GOOD in almond milk. The coconuts flour tends to make things a bit dryer, so it’s a good combo with milk!
Can I use pecans?
Any swaps you want! xo
Yum!
I love how thick they are! They look like they would have a texture similar to those packaged Pecan Sandies cookies… are they like that or are they more chewy?
Definitely like that on the outside, but a softer in the middle!
Woah these look great–cant say the last time i had this kind of cookie before but i love them! ESPECIALLY with coffee!
SO good with coffee!!!
Thank you for this recipe. My kids and I loved them!
That is great!:)
