Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a cookie sheet or baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine your wet ingredients and mix well.

4. Form 8 large balls of cookie dough (or 16 small ones) and place on the lined tray. Press each ball into a cookie shape.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes (vegan and gluten-free option) or 20-25 minutes (keto and paleo option), or until cookies have firmed up. 
6. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely.
