Paleo Disappearing Mounds Cookies

large egg

About 1 cup almond butter (homemade with allowed sweetener--or no sweetener--ensures this recipe is paleo; see notes on measurement; peanut butter or sunbutter will work in place of almond butter, but will change the overall flavor of these cookies)

coconut sugar (or light brown sugar, packed)

unsweetened shredded coconut, packed (or sweetened if you prefer)

raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)

baking soda

vanilla extract
