Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients. Start mixing on a low speed so the flour stays in the bowl.

Shape the Dough

Grease cookie sheet. (I like to use coconut oil) Wet hands to prevent the dough from sticking to skin. Scoop out about 1Tbs. dough and lightly roll into a ball; dip top of dough ball into the remaining sugar, and place sugar side up on the cookie sheet. Space balls around 1 1/2 apart.

Bake and Try Not to Eat Them Before They're Ready
