Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, confectioners' sugar, 2 large egg whites, 1 tbsp orange zest, 1/4 cup coconut flakes, and 1 tsp lemon juice until a thick, uniform batter forms.
Step 2: Scoop 12 small mounds (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
Step 3: Bake for 20 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cool completely before serving.
