Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place parchment paper on a large cookie sheet or cut a circle of paper to cover the bottom of a spring form pan.
Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, gelatin, baking soda and salt to eliminate any clumps.
In a separate bowl, combine all remaining ingredients with a hand mixer to create a smooth consistency. (Feel free to mix by hand also. I just find a hand mixer to be easier!)
Add dry ingredients and incorporate fully. The batter will be quite thick so this may need to be done by hand. Add any mix-ins at this time. (i.e. chocolate chips, nuts, etc)
Press the dough into the spring form pan creating a 1/2 inch thick cookie. Alternatively, form the dough into 1/2 thick circle on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Don’t worry, the cookie will rise slightly but will not spread!
Bake for 12-18 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookie to cool completely. The cookie will firm up as it cools. Do not frost or slice into it before it cools.
Once cooled, frost if desired using a frosting suggesting found in the blog post or using one of your own!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

Chocolate chips are not SCD legal! After following the SCD diet for 6 years, we have begun to add a few new foods into our lives. Our bellies tolerate Spring & Mulberry date sweetened chocolate just fine. However, if you are strictly following the diet, do not add chocolate chips.
