Flourless Coconut Cookies

If you are viewing my cooking and baking blog, enjoyasimplelife.blogspot.com, for the first time or are a frequent viewer, I have not made many additional entries to the blog for quite some time.  The reason for this is that I have made a move to a new home in a different state, and the cooking arrangements are not quite ideal at this time. There are additional reasons that should be resolved soon. When this happens, I will gladly post additional easy-to-follow, photo-illustrated entries that I am certain you will enjoy preparing for yourself and others. In the meantime, I have already published more than 1300 recipes on this website that you can have access to now at no cost to you except for your time and your own desire to try something new. To search for something of your liking, simply enter a word or group of words, such as shrimp, chicken, egg rolls, or dipping sauce, etc., in the search box in the upper left-hand corner or the Search This Blog at the very bottom of this page. Then click the magnifying glass search symbol or the word Search to the right of the word(s). Immediately, all the recipes I have in my blog that contain the word or words just entered will appear in the order they were posted.

 Occasionally, depending on the search engine, such as Google, other websites will appear before my blog address. You may need to look for the words, Enjoy Life, when looking for my blog as you scroll down the entries that appear first. Good luck! And thanks for visiting my blog.

My favorite snack is coconut cookies. Some recipes are called coconut macaroons. They have identical ingredients or many other recipes will add chocolate. A crispy outside and crunchiness inside will be the result of this recipe presented today.  I like this recipe because it has only a few ingredients and does not use flour. I think this recipe is a winner for a healthy snack when substituting honey for sugar. However, the texture of these coconut cookies will be less crunchy without sugar. 

 

Ingredients:

2 cups coconut flakes 

2 tbs coconut oil

1/4 cup honey or 1/4 cup sugar

1 egg or 2 egg whites

1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Place egg, oil, and honey in a blender and blend for a few seconds.

Add the coconut flakes into the blender with the egg mixture and pulse a few times.

Using a spatula, scrape the mixture from the blender into a bowl.

Use a small ice scream scoop to remove the mixture and to form each cookie. 

Place the formed cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, flatten each formed cookie, and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
