- 1 cup Green Banana Flour (128g)
- 1/4 cup Tapioca Flour (30g)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Grass-Fed Butter, room temp
- 1/4 cup Liquid Allulose Sweetener (90g)
- 2 tbsp. Granulated Monk Fruit (35g)
- 1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbsp. Almond Extract
- 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1/4 cup No-Sugar-Added Apricot Preserves
- 3 tbsp. Macadamia Nuts, finely chopped

- (Optional) Coconut Butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper OR greasing lightly with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Combine all of the ingredients in the bowl of a large food processor or mixing bowl. Pulse on High or beat well with an electric hand mixer until a thick, cohesive cookie dough forms. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Roll the chilled dough out between to sheets of parchment paper until it is between 1/8″ and 1/4″ thick.
- Use a round cookie cutter or drinking glass to punch out evenly sized circles of cookie dough. Transfer each circle carefully to the prepared baking sheet.
- In a separate small bowl, stir the apricot preserves & chopped macadamia nuts together.
- Place a heaping 1/2 tsp. of the apricot mixture in the center of each circle of cookie dough on the baking sheet. Gently fold each circle in half, lightly pressing the edges of the semi-circle to seal the filling inside.
- (Optional) Sprinkle the top of each unbaked cookie with shredded coconut for garnish & extra texture!
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring them off the baking sheet.
- (Optional) Drizzle with melted coconut butter to decorate.
