Bounty Cookies…The name says it all. If you love coconut, as much as I love, you will become addicted to these cookies. Combination of coconut and chocolate simply must taste good. For low carb version remember to use dark chocolate! J

• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. coconut essence or liquor
• 100g dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

• Add the egg and salt and beat continuously.
• Add ground almond, desiccated coconut, baking powder, coconut essence and mix all together.
• Add chopped chocolate and combine gently.
• Place the dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile line baking tray with parchment paper and preheat oven to 170C.
