Paleo Orange Cookies (vegan, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free)

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup

refined coconut oil, melted1 (I'm guessing butter would work for a dairy-containing version but I haven't tried it)

1/3 cup

maple syrup (I used a light Grade A syrup, which results in no maple taste in the cookies)

1 tbsp

orange zest

1 1/2 tsp

orange extract

1 1/3 cups

blanched almond flour

2 tbsp

coconut flour, sifted if lumpy

1/2 tsp

baking soda

1/8 tsp

salt

1/4 cup

coconut butter, softened but not melted

1 1/2 tbsp

maple syrup (or honey for a non-vegan version)

1 tbsp

refined coconut oil, softened but not melted

2 tbsp

+ 1 teaspoon orange juice

1 tsp

(or more) orange zest

1 tsp

orange extract (the amount will depend on your brand of extract and how orangey you want them)

salt
