- In a separate bowl whisk together coconut oil, almond extract, and maple syrup until well combined.
- Add egg and whisk until you get the smooth texture.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix. Finally, stir in cacao nibs. Mix gently with a spatula. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes.
- With a scoop or spoon, scoop the dough, and place it on the baking sheet. Arrange the cookies 2-inches apart. Slightly flatten the dough with the spoon.
