Ingredients:

- 1/4 cup psyllium fiber powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium fiber powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a splash of almond milk or water to help bind it together.

Fold in the chocolate chips or chopped nuts if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

Use the palm of your hand to gently flatten each cookie to your desired thickness.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, indulge in the chewy goodness of these gluten-free psyllium fiber cookies!
