Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 100 g before cooking, which is about 25 g per serving.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and line a baking sheet.
Place the egg in a bowl and mix well.
Add the shredded coconut, culinary sweetener, optional vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
Mix until you have a moist, firm, and pliable dough.
Divide the dough into 4 portions and shape each one into a ball.
Place the balls on the lined baking sheet and flatten them slightly.
Bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for approximately 10 minutes, until the edges begin to turn golden.
Let the bites cool before removing them from the baking sheet, as they become firmer as they cool.
Notes
The amount of sweetener may vary depending on the brand: add it gradually and adjust to taste. Although this is a healthier option than many commercially produced cookies, coconut is high in calories; consume it in moderation.
