Phase 3 Serves: 9 Prep Time: 2 min. Cooking Time: 20 min.

1 cup shredded coconut

1 egg or 1 vegan egg substitute (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water)
3 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
3-4 tablespoons birch xylitol or stevia to taste

Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).
In a bowl, pour the egg or egg substitute and beat well. Add the almond flour, grated coconut, and sweetener and mix well.
Add the coconut oil and continue mixing until you get a homogeneous mass.
With your hands, form several balls of the same size and flatten them to form cookies; put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake them between 18 and 23 minutes until they’re golden brown.
Take the cookies out of the oven and cool them on a rack.
