Apple Cinnamon Cookies

I was looking for a baking recipe to bring into my co-workers and stumble upon this one. I tried it out and it was awesome! I didn't have to change a thing. Thanks to River North Paleo Girl






2 large apples, cored and cut into eighths (the sweeter the better)
2 cups ground almonds 
2 tsp coconut oil, melted
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp of cinnamon
1 tbsp honey (use more for a sweeter cookie) 
1 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
A pinch of salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Using the shredder disc in a food processor, shred the apples. I don't have a food processor so I just grated them with my box grater. Measure out 2 cups of shredded apples and set aside in a large bowl. 

Add the ground almonds, cinnamon, vanilla, and melted coconut oil to the grated apples. Add the coconut, and salt in the large bowl and stir to combine. Add the eggs and honey, stir everything until it is mixed evenly

Use a small ice cream scoop (or a large spoon) to evenly place the dough on a parchment-paper lined cookie sheet. *The parchment paper is important, it will stick to your cookie sheet if you don't. Lightly flatten the dough into evenly sized cookies with your hands. 

Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, rotating cookie sheet half way through, take them out when the edges begin to brown and your house smells like heaven. Cool on a rack for 20 minutes before enjoying. 

Delicious!
