5. Add the flour, salt and whisk to combine until a soft dough is formed.
6. Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake for 8 to 10 mins until the edges are slightly brown.
8. Halfway through baking, use a fork to press down the cookies gently to create a pattern.
9. Continue to bake until done.

11. This recipe makes about 19 servings for coconut flour and 24 servings for almond flour using a 4 cm cookie scoop.
12. As these cookies are pillowy-soft, they are quite delicate. It's best to store them in the refrigerator up to 1 to 2 weeks or freezer for months. They taste so good straight out of the fridge or freezer.
