Snickerdoodles

Wanted a healthier version of a Snickerdoodle so I found a recipe on Pinterest and tweaked it to make it Paleo.

Ingredients
1/4 C Hazlenut meal
1/4 C Coconut flour
1/4 C Organic honey
1/4 C Almond butter
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/8 C Coconut crystals
1 Tbsp Cinnamon
2 Tbsp Arrowroot powder
5 Tbsp Coconut oil (melted)
4 Scoops vanilla protein powder
4 Eggs

Directions
Set aside coconut crystals and cinnamon.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix remaining dry ingredients into bowl.  Melt coconut oil in dish.  Mix coconut oil, almond butter, honey, vanilla extract and eggs into dry ingredients stirring slowly.

In separate bowl, mix coconut crystals and cinnamon.

Scoop dough into cookie sized pieces, then roll into bowl of cinnamon and coconut crystal mixture.  Place dough on cookie sheet and flatten with the bottom of a cup.

Bake for 7-10 minutes or until cooked through.
