How long do almond coconut cookies stay fresh?

They stay fresh for about 4 days at room temp in an airtight container or up to 8 days in the fridge.

Yes—freeze in a single layer first, then store in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temp before serving.

Are they gluten-free?

Yes, as long as you use certified gluten-free ingredients. Almond flour and coconut are naturally gluten-free.

Can I make them dairy-free?

Absolutely. Use coconut oil or vegan butter instead of regular butter.

Will they spread when baked?

Not much. These cookies hold their shape, so press them slightly before baking if you like them flatter.

Are they soft or crunchy?

They're soft in the center with crisp edges when baked just right.

Can I reduce the sugar?

Yes, but they may be less golden and slightly drier. Try reducing by a tablespoon to start.

Can I add other mix-ins?

Definitely! Chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit all work beautifully.
