Chocolate Coconut Cookies

Coconut flour tends to make softer cookies, so if that’s your thing, store these at room temperature. For something a little crisper, store these in an airtight container in your freezer. You won’t have to thaw them out, but you’ll be surprised and delighted at how they crisp up. Enjoy and please let us know how you like this Paleo Chocolate Coconut Cookies recipe!
