Coconut Almond Cookies



Coconut Almond Cookies

Coconut almond cookies are addictive and yummy cookies/biscuit with a  light melt in mouth texture.
This recipe is egg less. I used organic coconut flour and all purpose flour. You can substitute with other grain flour  for gluten free cookies. Since this was the first time baking with  coconut flour I did not try a gluten free recipe. I will try more cookie recipes will this flour and will update later. The flavor of coconut flour and butter the crunch of sweetened coconut and almonds make this a yummy treat. Try this hope you will all enjoy!
