Low-Carb Coconut Tea Cookies

was craving cookies. I was craving coconut. I went on Pinterest to find a recipe, but I couldn't find anything simple that used coconut flour. So I improvised. Here it is....

Ingredients
-1 stick of butter
-1/3 cup of Splenda (+a little extra)
-1 tsp vanilla
-1/8 tsp salt
-1 cup of coconut flour 

Instructions
-preheat oven to 350 degrees
-mix butter and Splenda with a hand mixer
-mix in salt, vanilla and flour till it becomes a dough
-make dough balls and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
-flatten cookies and sprinkle with Splenda 
-bake for 10 mins, flip over, and bake another 5 mins
-let cool before enjoying!


Serving size: 15 cookies
Carb count: 4.8 carbs per cookie 

Full disclosure: these cookies are super dry. They are truly meant to be tea cookies. Pour a glass of tea before eating because you'll need to wash it down. That being said, the flavor and taste is phenomenal. If you have any suggestions on how to moisten this cookie up, please leave a comment! 

Thanks for reading and come back soon!
