Notes

  • ¼ cup coconut oil and ¼ cup ghee OR use ½ cup coconut oil.  You could also use ½ cup ghee.
  • ½ cups of Paleo baking flour in place of both the almond flour and coconut flour.
  • Feel free to use ¼ cup coconut oil and ¼ cup ghee OR use ½ cup coconut oil.  You could also use ½ cup ghee.
  • I have successfully made this recipe use 1 ½ cups of Paleo baking flour in place of both the almond flour and coconut flour.
  • The cookie dough may be slightly sticky.  This is why the dough needs to chill for 30 minutes.
  • If needed, chill dough for up to 24 hours.  It may not spread much in the oven, so press down on the dough balls slightly before baking.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze for 1 month.
