YUMMIEST COCONUT COOKIES (GLUTEN FREE)



Yummiest Coconut Cookies (Gluten Free) image

I made these cookies last night and they were delicious. They were very easy to make and the clean up was easy as well. The only thing I would do different next time is double the batch, I only got 10 cookies and they were all eaten in 15 minuetes.This cookie will definetly have a special place reserved on my Christmas cookie tray.

FOUR-INGREDIENT GLUTEN-FREE ITALIAN COCONUT COOKIES



Four-Ingredient Gluten-Free Italian Coconut Cookies image

These traditional Italian soft cookies are a hit at any get-together. I've made them gluten free but you can use the same amount of all-purpose wheat flour instead of gluten-free flour. There are many variations of this cookie in Italy. Some people add chocolate chips and some drizzle dark chocolate over them once cooled.
