🍪 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
   

2. Mix the wet ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together pecan butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and egg white (or flax egg) until creamy and smooth.
   

3. Combine the dry ingredients:
    In another bowl, mix brown rice flour, maca, lucuma, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
   

4. Fold it all together:
    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Fold in the chopped pecans.
   

5. Shape and bake:
   Scoop about 1 heaped tablespoon (30 g) of dough per cookie onto the tray and gently flatten each one with your fingers or a fork.
    Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden at the edges and fragrant.
   

6. Cool and enjoy:
   Let the cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack. The warm, nutty aroma is pure comfort!
