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!

Time 35m

Yield 16 cookies, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup rice flour
1/2 cup margarine
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 teaspoon orange extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Sift together the corn starch and flour in one bowl.
  • Mix the margarine and sugar until fluffy in another bowl (I did this by hand).
  • Add vanilla or orange extract, if using, to the margarine mixture.
  • Add flour mixture to margarine mixture and mix until combined.
  • Using a tablespoon measure, spoon onto a very lightly greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes until golden brown on the edges.
  • This will make about 16 cookies (2" in diameter).
  • You can drizzle with some melted chocolate after they have cooled for the extra flavor and visual effect.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I actually really enjoyed these cookies. The coconut flavor is subtle, and the cookies are really soft and chewy.

I was really looking forward to trying these cookies, but I was disappointed. The flavor was just okay, and the texture was too dry.

I was so excited to try these cookies, but they turned out to be a huge disappointment. The dough was too dry and crumbly, and the cookies didn't spread out at all. They ended up being more like hockey pucks than cookies.

These cookies are a lifesaver! I'm gluten-free and dairy-free, and it's always been a struggle to find delicious cookies that fit my dietary restrictions. These cookies are not only delicious, but they're also really easy to make. I've made them seve
