COCONUT FLOUR COOKIES RECIPE

These exquisite Coconut Flour Cookies are precisely what you expect from a amazing cookie: crisp edges, chewy facilities and loaded with chocolate. however these are genuinely gluten unfastened, easy ingesting, paleo, with even a vegan alternative.

In my coconut flour quick bread recipes like truffles and bread, I used eggs and oil to meet the coconut flours want for moisture additionally giving the baked deal with shape.

But, eggs additionally make for a fluffy, light texture which I didn’t need for those cookies. i am looking for wet, chewy and crispy.
