  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.

  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix well.
  5. Step 5: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Step 6: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
