Recipe Notes

If doing the candida diet, you'll want to verify that the extracts you use have absolutely no sugars added to them! This may be a good idea in general, but it is very important when trying to kill off yeast and sugar overgrowth.

This recipe was originally written with coconut flour. If you would like to use another flour, please make sure it is a whole grain flour (gluten-free flours could work but you will need more of it called for in this recipe). The dough should look almost like a nut butter cookie dough. 

These cookies are delicious for up to 2 days, however, sometimes when leftover for several hours, the cookie ingredients undergo a chemical reaction that will turn the cookies green. It’s a strange reaction due to the coconut flour, baking soda and oils used. Do not be alarmed - it's not mold and  the cookies are completely safe to eat! And for some reason they won't turn green every time, it just depends on the batch. I have read several reasons for this change but am not sure if one reason is the answer for all batches/ingredients. Hope you enjoy nonetheless! :D
