Olive Oil Coconut Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

• ½ cup almonds

• ½ cup cashews

• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

• 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup

• 1.5 tablespoons cacao nibs

• Optional: sprinkle of sea salt (add if you are a salty/sweet person like me)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Put the shredded coconut, almonds, and cashews in a food processor and blend.

3. Add in the olive oil & syrup and blend.

4. Take the mixture and form balls in your hand and then press the ball down to make it flat (like a cookie). Place cookies on the baking sheet.

5. Press the cacao nibs into the top of the cookie and then sprinkle sea salt over all the cookies.

6. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. You can have this dessert when it’s ready or at room temperature and it can be left on the counter for about 5 days.
