- 30 grams (approximately 1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
- 125 grams (approximately 3/4 cup) fine or medium-ground cornmeal
- 90 grams (approximately 1 cup) unsweetened fine coconut flakes
- 5 grams (approximately 1 teaspoon) baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 55 grams (2 ounces) coconut oil
- 125 grams (2/3 cup tightly packed) organic sugar
- 165 grams (3 large) eggs
- 5 grams (approximately 1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment.

- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater.
- Turn off the mixer and add the flour mixture.
- Mix in at low speed until combined.
- The batter will be moist and sticky.
- Using a spatula or a bowl scraper, scrape out half the batter onto the baking sheet.
- Moisten your hands so the dough wont stick, and form a log, about 10 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide.
- Repeat with the other half of the batter.
- The logs can be on the same baking sheet but make sure there is at least 2 inches of space between them.
- Place in the oven and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until lightly browned, beginning to crack on the top, and dry.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 20 minutes (or longer).
- Place on a cutting board and cut 1/2 inch slices straight across the logs.
- Place the cookies on baking sheets and return, one sheet at a time, to the middle rack of the oven.
- Bake 15 minutes and flip the biscotti over.
- Bake another 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
