Grapefruit Meltaways

The use of grapefruit juice instead of lemon is a refreshing update that will wake up your tastebuds. So, the next time you plan to head out for a picnic, consider making this delicious recipe. Made with coconut oil and organic coconut flour, there’s no doubt that these delicate cookies are healthy and tasty. Not to mention, they are high in fiber and low on the glycemic index. Here’s how you make them:
NotesWe do not recommend melting organic extra virgin coconut oil by placing it in the microwave. To melt it easily, place the measure amount in a small bowl. Put that bowl in a larger bowl filled with one or two inches of hot water, making sure the water does not spill over into the oil.

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the flour and salt, using an electric mixer. Once the wet and dry ingredients are incorporated, add the melted organic extra virgin coconut oil until the batter is smooth.
