My all purpose cookie recipe-

2c almond flour
1c unsweetened dried shredded coconut
3/4 c butter *melted*
12 drops sweetzfree or 1/3 cup honey or equivalents
3 eggs
2T vanilla
1tsp baking soda
1tsp salt
1sp xanthan

cream together everything from the butter down and let mix for several minutes to emulsify. Add the coconut. Add the almond flour. Add whatever else you like in your cookies.
Bake on a non-stick surface. The dough will be stiff and will stay in exactly the shape you put it in so rough it into shape with your fingers. I bake at 350 for 16 mins.

By adjusting the vanilla and using other extracts and spices this recipe can be made into almost anything. Good gingerbread. Use lemon and add macadamia nut pieces and dried blueberries. Banana extract and walnuts. If chocolate is one of your personal deviations, it makes great chocolate chip cookies.

I do better when I avoid dairy altogether so this baking season I'll be experimenting with replacing the butter with varying mixes of coconut oil, ghee, and organic lard. You *can't* replace all the butter for coconut oil. The profile is wrong and you get a greasy mess.
