Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup Ghee melted (for AIP, use avocado oilor refined coconut oil)
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1 Tb Gelatin
  • ¼ tsp Baking soda
  • ⅓ cup Coconut flour this must be a dry brand like Bob's Red Mill or Nutiva for the oil/fat to absorb, or the dough will be too runny
  • 1 pinch Real Salt

Instructions

  1. In medium mixing bowl, add ghee (or oil), vanilla and honey.
  2. Sprinkle gelatin over mixture and stir very well, then sprinkle baking soda into mixture and stir very well.
  3. Add a DRY BRAND of coconut flour and salt and stir well to combine.

  4. Place dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.*

  5. If using a cookie scoop, scoop 1-Tb-sized balls onto parchment-lined jelly roll pan. If rolling balls with hands, place dough in refrigerator for about 20 minutes, then roll into 1-Tb-sized balls and place on prepared pan.
  6. Pat down gently to flatten into rounds.
  7. Bake at 350 for approximately 6 to 8 minutes or until they just turn golden brown.
  8. Cool completely before handling. Or sneak one while they're still warm...I won't tell 🙂

Recipe Notes

*After mixing up the dough, place in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This may not always be necessary since colder weather and cooler kitchens may leave you with an already firm dough. For warmer months and warmer kitchens, go ahead and pop that bad boy in the fridge for a bit.
