Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Coconut Almond Cookies

Whether it’s peanut butter, chocolate chip, or coconut sugar, cookies are delicious, comforting and sometimes we just got to eat them, right!? If you’re trying to lose weight, it’s important to keep in mind that a reasonable 200-calorie snack usually consists of 2 medium-sized cookies.

These crispy crunchy melt-in-your-mouth coconut almond cookies, made with healthful ingredients, are perfect for easing your sweet tooth or soothing a mean period craving. You can quickly and easily whip up a batch of these and, if you’re not the best at controlling your portions, divide the dough into 4 equal parts, wrap separately in plastic wrap and freeze 3 for future use. Bake the remaining dough into one giant cookie and enjoy with a cup of unsweetened earl grey tea.
