Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F).

  2. Place the palm shortening and the room‑temperature egg in a food processor and blend for about 15 seconds.

  3. Add the coconut crystals, honey, and vanilla extract, then process until combined.

  4. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt; process for 30 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed to fully incorporate the dry ingredients.

  5. Stir in the dark chocolate pieces and dairy‑free chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed.

  6. Scoop the dough with a large tablespoon onto a parchment‑lined baking sheet, flattening each ball to about a ½‑inch thick disk.

  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.

  8. Cool the cookies on a wire rack before serving.
