Method
- Preheat oven to 325° Fahrenheit. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare flax "egg" by mixing ground flaxseed with 3 Tbsp warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine coconut flour, all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, baking powder and salt
- In a small bowl, combine coconut oil, agave and vanilla. Stir wet ingredients and flax "egg" into large bowl until thoroughly mixed.
- On a clean surface, use a rolling pin to roll batter out until it's about 1/4" thick. Use a circular cookie cutter (a jar lid works well) to cut cookie shapes. Transfer cookies to baking sheet and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are golden.
- While cookies bake, prepare coconut icing by mixing coconut butter, agave and vanilla together. Prepare chocolate sauce by mixing agave and cocoa powder together.
- Remove cookies from oven and allow them to cool. Spread a layer of coconut butter on each cookie and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top. Enjoy!
