Ingredients

  • 1 cup dairy free butter
  • 1 ½ cups shredded coconut
  • ½ cup macadamia nuts, chopped
  • cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 cup chocolate of your choice to melt for the topping, I used semi sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl add the butter and sugar.
  • With a hand or stand mixer beat until it is light and fluffy.  That takes about 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla extract and blend.  Mix in the flour.
  • Stir in the coconut and macadamia nuts and mix in by hand.
  • Form into a 2" diameter roll. Roll up in waxed paper and refrigerate until firm. About 1 hour.
  • Take out of the fridge and slice in about ¼" to ½" thick slices as seen in the photo below.
  • Place on a Baking Sheet and bake at 300• for 20 minutes.  Cool on a wire rack.
  • Melt you chocolate in the microwave just until it is melted not bubbling.  It burns so be careful.
  • If you don't have any piping bags - scoop the chocolate into a baggie and squish down into one corner.  Snip the tiniest snip at the point and pipe circles on the top of each cookie.
