In a mixer, combine butter, sweetener, eggs, applesauce, and salt.

Combine the coconut, ground almonds, oats, and baking powder in a separate bowl or a plastic bag and then add to the mixture in the mixer bowl. Mix until smooth.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

Form small balls and place on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.

Press a blanched almond on top of each ball.

Bake for 15 minutes or until cookies are light brown. (Note: The second batch will bake faster; watch that they don’t burn.)

Remove from pan very carefully so that the cookies don’t crumble, and cool on a rack.
