Author: Zoe Morman

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1 ¼ cup almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon of Xantham
  • ½ cup lard
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 ½ cup monk fruit
  •  

Instructions

  • The cookies are made exactly the same as if using flour. Begin by letting the butter and lard come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 325℉. The reason I lowered the heat is that the cookies were browning faster than I wanted them to at 350℉.
  • Blend the coconut flour and the almond flour. Add half a teaspoon of xantham gum and lightly whisk together.
  • Blend the fats together, and cream.
  • Add monk fruit sweetener, almond extract, and flour, and blend.
  • I used a #50 scoop, but you can use a measuring tablespoon and rub it with the palm of your hands to form balls. 
  • Lightly sprayed a cookie sheet and arranged the cookies.
  • Press each ball gently with your thumb to create a divot. Add half of a Maraschino cherry, to the top of the cookie and bake.
  • All ovens are different, so place them in the oven for about 20 minutes. But you are looking for even golden brown around the edges.
