gluten- free coconut sugar cookies
First off, I will admit that for someone who prefers salty to sweet, I've been sharing an awful lot of dessert recipes on the blog. The savoury recipes are to come, worry not!!! But this one was too good to hold off on.
These cookies were so easy to make and were really delicious. I don't live in a gluten free home, but I have extended family members and friends that are gluten free or have Celiac disease, so broadening my dessert repertoire was a must! And these cookies were so good- a great recipe for gluten-eaters too if you ask me!
Hope you enjoy!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
3/4 cup coconut flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
2. In large bowl, stir together coconut flour, baking powder and salt
3. In separate bowl, beat butter and coconut oil together; add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, almond milk and vanilla; beat until fully mixed.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture, beating until well combined. Batter should be thick. If not, add small amount(s) of coconut flour until it is thick.
5. Scoop dough onto ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten out to desired thickness.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges start to brown.
Note for icing: You can very well eat the cookies without icing, as the cookies are very flavourful as they are. However, I ended up melting about 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and added 2 cups of chocolate chips, and used this to decorate the cookies. I then sprinkled sweetened coconut flakes on the icing, and it was the best.
