If you love coconut, you’ll adore these soft cookies that melt in your mouth. Coconut Buttons are gluten free and dairy free!
This cookie recipe was developed by accident… I was making cookies and realized I didn’t have flour, so I scoured my pantry, looking for an alternative. I found coconut flour and discovered how quickly it absorbs liquid while mixing. I made some adjustments, and voila!
Tips for success:
- Use only coconut flour. (Don’t substitute with a different kind of flour or a mix of flours.) Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid, which is what you want for this recipe.
- If the dough is too wet/sticky to roll, let the dough sit longer to absorb more liquid.
Enjoy!
