Notes
- This homemade Instant Pot Apple Butter it's perfect in this recipe.
- These cookies don’t spread out a ton, so make sure you press them down to flatten a little bit before baking.
- Make sure your oven temperature is accurate. Most ovens don’t reach the targeted temperature until at least 10 minutes after the “beep” sound. I like using an oven thermometer to be certain the oven is ready.
- I like to use smooth and drizzly almond butter and my homemade apple butter. The cookie texture may vary slightly depending on the brands you choose to use.
- Pack the coconut flour and almond flour when measuring to ensure it measures correctly.
