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.
