Coconut Shortbread Cookies

Trying to find a GAPS safe cookie for Kevin was a struggle.  Every recipe I tried either tasted bad or crumbled and would not stay together.  After a lot of playing around with the coconut flour (which takes some getting used to) I came up with a ratio that works perfectly and makes a tasty cookie.

The great thing about this cookie is that the recipe is so basic that you can add to it.  Sometimes I add vanilla powder or apple chunks.  I also have done a pumpkin spice one and a ginger spice one too.

Coconut Shortbread Cookie

12 tbsp. coconut flour
8 tbsp. coconut oil (softened)
3 tbsp. coconut nectar

Mix the ingredients together and let sit for 3-4 minutes.  Form into balls and place on the parchment lined cookie sheet and press down.  Bake at 250 F until the edges start to get brown.  Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes before moving.
