Coconut Lemon Meltaways

By seamline

So you don’t have to actually cook these luscious Coconut Lemon Meltaways…instead you can put them in a food dehydrator for about an hour and fifteen minutes or in the lowest setting in your oven. The goal is to get them dry on the outside but moist on the inside. The optional way is to just freeze or chill them an hour in your fridge or freezer. They will be very soft if you do this. Here is how I made them with less sugar. As you can see the recipe calls for Agave which is healthy but still high in sugar at the end of the day. So if this is a concern to you use 2 Tablespoons of Agave or Honey and 4 tablespoons of coconut cream. Then add a Tablespoon of stevia or use liquid stevia. this will ensure a moist cookie with even less sugar in than the original! If you try out this recipe make sure to let us know in the comments!

Ingredients

• In a small mixing bowl combine the following:
• Step 1.
• Dry Ingredients
• 1 & 1/2 cups Almond Flour (you can make this, or buy it – however most store bought Almond flour is not raw)
• 1 & 1/2 cups dried Shredded Unsweetened Coconut (I used medium shred, but fine shred would also work well)
• 1/3 c Coconut Flour
• 2 big pinches of Salt
• Mix all of your dry ingredients together – set aside and move onto the next step.
• Step 2.
• Wet Ingredients
• 6 Tbsp Agave//or//Grade B Maple Syrup//or//Raw Organic Honey
• 4 Tbsp Lemon Juice
• 2 tsp Vanilla
• 1 Tbsp Lemon zest (Tip: Zest your Lemon before you juice it)
• Mix together all of the above ingredients…
• Step 3.
• The Thickener
• 1/4 cup AND 1 Tbsp melted Coconut Oil
• While your Mixer is on, stream in your melted Coconut Oil. Your batter will thicken fairly quickly as it mixes with the Oil and the oil cools down.

Preparation

Step 1

The final step is up to you.
You can either –
Option 1. (This is the best way to have these cookies in my opinion)
Warm them in either your Dehydrator or Oven (set at it’s lowest heat, leaving the door cracked open).
Warm your Cookies for 1 hour, maybe a bit longer
Your finished Cookie will be dry on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth moist on the inside
Place your cookies in the fridge after they’ve cooled down, letting them chill and set before you eat them.
–
Option 2. Place your Cookies to set/chill in the fridge for about an hour.
If you opt not to heat/dry your cookies the texture will be soft and moist.
