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!
