3/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup honey
2 & 3/4 Tbsp butter (I omit) 
5 Tbsp melted coconut oil
1/2 mashed banana

2. Roll out the dough on the parchment paper sprinkled with some coconut flour until it is about 1/4 inch thick.  

3. Use your cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes & placed them on silpat mat. 

4. Lightly brush each cookie with coconut oil. Baked in a preheated oven @ 170C for 15mins.

   

Verdict: My kitchen is filled with coconut aroma when these cookies were baking in the oven. These cookies browned relatively fast due to the honey. They tasted really great, with a strong coconut taste & a tinge of banana. The cookies were soft & goes well with a cup of milk for afternoon snack! Try this recipe if you have coconut flour in your kitchen *^_^*

Just for you

此刻的我心情是无比的沉重，惆怅。今早当我在预备乳酪蛋糕的材料时，获知一位朋友过世的消息。太突然了，我愣住了。我哭了。还记得奥利奥乳酪蛋糕是我开始烘焙所做的第一个蛋糕。而当时在我旁边细心教导我的就是我的这位朋友。她可算是我学烘焙的“启蒙老师”。是她开启了我对烘焙的那股热忱。

如今这个蛋糕就献给你。一路走好我的朋友。我会怀念你。
