GLUTEN-FREE & DAIRY-FREE COCONUT COOKIES



Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Coconut Cookies image

I came up with these while trying to make something as a Christmas gift for a friend who cannot have gluten or dairy products and these turned out pretty good (after a failed attempt at butter-free, gluten-free shortbread). I drizzled with some melted dark chocolate for a more elegant look. My friend gave it a great review, so I'm posting it here for others to enjoy. Bon apetit!

Tips for Making the Best Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Coconut Cookies:

  • Use high-quality coconut flour. Not all coconut flours are created equal. Look for a finely milled, light-colored coconut flour that is free of additives.
  • Measure your ingredients carefully. Coconut flour is very absorbent, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Too much coconut flour will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cookies to mix together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.

Conclusion:

These gluten-free, dairy-free coconut cookies are a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your cookies chewy or crispy, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
