Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F, line foil on a sheet pan and coat foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Add almond butter, egg whites, coconut nectar and coconut milk in a mixing bowl. Using a hand-held mixer, blend until smooth and well combined.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined.

Using a spoon, drop cookie dough onto sheet pan, making 10 even cookies.

Bake 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool, and then drizzle with more almond butter. It’s easier to drizzle if slightly melted (about 20 seconds in the microwave).
