Ingredients

1/4 cup almond meal
1 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
1 tabs lemon zest
2 tabs lemon juice
3 tabs yoghurt coconut or dairy free
2 tabs chia seeds
3 tabs coconut oil slightly soft
1/3 cup sugar raw or unrefined

Instructions

Combine the almond meal, plain flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and mix well.
Mix all the remaining ingredients together. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix quickly.
Form into a dough. Add more water if to dry or flour if to wet. Cover and pop into the fridge to rest for 15 minutes.
In a small bow mix 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt to combine.
Cover a tray with baking paper and set aside.
After the dough has rested, grab a small portion of the dough (cookie sized) and roll around like a ball in the palm of your hands to combine.
Lightly roll in the bowl of the sugar and salt mix and then pop onto a tray covered with baking paper. Flatten the ball into a cookie size shape.
