These coconut cookies are not afraid to draw attention to their star ingredient. They are soft, chewy, with slightly golden crispy edges and crispy toasted coconut scattered all over. coconut cookies recipe is gluten-free thanks to the almond flour, but all-purpose flour can also be used in place of it at a 1:1 ratio.
The secret to baking gluten-free is patience, both in allowing the dough to rest before baking and in allowing the finished product to cool completely before eating. When given enough time to hydrate and combine with the wet ingredients in the batter, almond flour performs substantially better in terms of keeping moisture: The dough needs to chill for an hour before resting. Plan properly, please!
To guarantee that each cookie has gorgeously golden coconut imbedded into it, generously top with coconut flakes before baking. If you don’t like your cookies thin and crispy like Tate’s, do not let the softness of the cookies lure you to bake them longer. The cookies will have a crunchy edge and a chewy inside if you pull them when they are golden on the edges but still blonde in the center.
