Almond Meal Orange Cranberry "Scones"

Ingredients:
2 cups almond meal (or flour)
1/3 cup shredded (unsweetened) coconut
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Pinch of salt
1 egg
2 T honey
Zest of 1 orange
1 T fresh orange juice
1 tsp almond extract
*If you don't have shredded coconut I've found slivered almonds work perfectly as a substitution.  I have also omitted the almond extract (especially when subbing slivered almonds) and they turn out quite tasty.

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 375ยบ. Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix all the wet ingredients in a small bowl until the egg is fully scrambled. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined (a fork works for me, but you could use a mixer if you prefer). Form 2" x 2" (or desired size) amount of dough (I use a spoon to scoop the mixture).  Space them at least 1" apart on a greased cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until edges/top start to brown (test with toothpick to be sure if in question). Let them cool before you eat or store them or they’ll fall apart.  Makes about 8 "scones."
