Coconut Lemon Melt-aways

I got this recipe off Pinterest. Boy, is it yummy! These are great for a healthy snack to pop in the middle of breakfast and lunch, or for an after dinner dessert. There's no guilt to these cookies whatsoever; just wait until you see the ingredients in these delish Coconut Lemon Melt-aways! These are no-bake, Paleo-friendly. Enjoy!

Coconut-Lemon Melt-away Cookies
Dry Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Almond Flour 
1 1/2 cups dried Shredded Unsweetened Coconut 
1/3 c Coconut Flour
2 big pinches of Salt
Mix all of your dry ingredients together - set aside and move onto the next step
  
Wet Ingredients:
In a small mixing bowl combine the following:
6 Tbsp Agave 
4 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tsp Vanilla 
1 Tbsp Lemon zest
Mix together all of the above ingredients...
 With your mixer on, slowly stream in the wet ingredients...
add 1/4 cup, 1Tbsp melted Coconut Oil
While your Mixer is on, stream in your melted Coconut Oil. Your batter will thicken fairly quickly as it mixes with the Oil and the oil cools down
 
Warm them in oven at lowest heat, leaving the door cracked open for about 1 hour, maybe a bit longer.
Your finished Cookie will be dry on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth moist on the inside 
Place your cookies in the fridge after they've cooled down, letting them chill and set before you eat them.
