Notes
Measure the coconut oil before you melt it.
Do not confuse almond flour with almond meal. Though both can be used in this dairy-free cookies recipe, almond flour will look better and result in less chewy cookies. Learn more about the difference between almond flour and ground almonds.
These cookies are not formed once they come out of the oven. They need to sit and cool for at least an hour before you remove them off the tray. Even then, they'll be insanely delicate and you'll need a silicone spatula. They'll crumble a bit.
If you want to firm them up, store them in the fridge overnight and they'll harden up from the coconut oil.
