ÂĽ teaspoon (1 g) unflavored gelatin granules

1 ½ teaspoons lukewarm water

3 (75 g) egg whites

1 cup (160 g) coconut sugar, ground fine in a blender or food processor

1 tablespoon lukewarm water

2 tablespoons (10 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, (Dutch-processed or natural)

Instructions
MAKE THE COOKIE DOUGH
Place all of the ingredients for the cookies in a food processor in the order.

in which they are listed, and pulse until a dough forms. The dough will be.

soft and kind of oily. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap,.

divide into two equal pieces and wrap each tightly. Place the dough in the.

refrigerator to chill for about 10 minutes.

SHAPE AND BAKE THE COOKIES
Remove one piece of dough from the refrigerator, unwrap and roll out between.

two sheets of unbleached parchment paper until it is a bit more than 1/8-inch.

thick. With a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out rounds of dough. Place.

the rounds about 1 inch apart from one another on a prepared baking sheet and.

place the baking sheet in the freezer to chill for about 5 minutes (or the.

refrigerator for about 10 minutes) or until firm.

If you find that it is difficult to work with the dough at any point,.

including difficulty removing the cut-outs to the baking sheet, simply chill.

the dough and it will become much easier to work with.

Once the cut-outs are firm, place in the center of the preheated oven and.

bake until firm to the touch (about 15 minutes). If the cookies begin to.

smell nutty, take them out as they are about to burn. Allow to cool.

completely on the baking sheet.

MAKE THE FILLING
In the bowl of your stand mixer or a large bowl to be used with a handheld.

mixer, place the gelatin and bloom it in the 1 1/2 teaspoons water.

In a medium-size, heat-safe bowl, place the egg whites, 1 tablespoon water.

and the 1 cup finely ground coconut sugar, and whisk to combine well.

Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and clip a candy thermometer to.

the side of the bowl, making sure the tip of the thermometer is in the liquid.

and not on the bottom of the bowl or you will get an inaccurate reading.

The bowl should be just above the simmering (but not boiling water) without.

Cook the sugar mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 160°F.

Remove the bowl from the heat, and pour the mixture into the bowl of the.

stand mixer or large bowl with the bloomed gelatin.

Beat with the whisk attachment for about 7 minutes or until the mixture is.

about tripled in size, thick and glossy. It will be a pale brown color.

because of the color of the sugar.

Add the cocoa powder, and beat until combined and once again glossy.

ASSEMBLE THE COOKIES
Once the cookies are cool, place the frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a.

large plain piping tip (or just a large zip-top bag with the tip cut off),.

and pipe a dollop of the frosting on half of the cookies. Allow the frosting.

to set for a minute or so until topping with the remaining cookies to make a.

sandwich. The filling will be set in about 10 minutes.

Instructions
PREPARE THE CHOCOLATE
Using a standard grater or very sharp knife, grate or finely chop the cold.

milk chocolate into a bowl.

Working with the chocolate when it’s cold makes it much easier to chop or.

grate it into pieces that don’t melt together.

Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill until you are ready.

to add the chocolate to the cookie dough.

PREPARE THE DRY INGREDIENTS
In a medium-size bowl, place the flour, xanthan gum, oat flour, salt, baking.

powder and baking soda, and whisk to combine well.

In a separate, small bowl, place the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, and.

toss with 1 tablespoon of the dry ingredients.

Set both bowls aside.

PREPARE THE COOKIE DOUGH
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large.

bowl with a handheld mixer), cream the butter on medium-high speed until it.

Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, and then the egg and vanilla and.

beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth and light.

Add the dry ingredients and the milk, and mix on medium speed until just.

If the dough is very, very stiff, add more milk be stirred without too much difficulty.

Add the chocolate chips and nuts, and mix distributed throughout the dough.

Remove the grated/chopped chocolate from the refrigerator, uncover it, and.

fold it carefully into the cookie dough, taking care not to melt it.

SHAPE THE COOKIE DOUGH
Divide the dough into balls about 1 1/2-inches in diameter.

With the bottom of a glass, press down the balls of dough into disks, and.

place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

BAKE THE COOKIES
One baking sheet at a time, place in the center of the preheated oven and.

bake until just set (8 to 10 minutes).

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

¾ cup (86 g) confectioners’ sugar

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese (in the bar form), at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
MAKE THE COOKIE CUPS
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease well a standard 12-cup muffin tin and set.

In a large bowl, place the flour blend, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt,.

confectioners’ sugar and granulated sugar, and whisk to combine well.

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the butter,.

shortening, egg and vanilla, mixing well to combine after each addition. The.

dough should come together and will be soft.

Roll the dough into balls about 1 1/4-inches in diameter, and press into.

disks about 1/4 inch thick. Place one disk into each of the prepared wells of.

the muffin tin, and press the bottom of a juice glass right into the center.

of the dough, forcing the dough evenly up the sides of each well.

Remove the glass. If any of the cookie has reached above the lip of each.

well, press it down to avoid its burning in the oven. Using a toothpick, poke.

3 evenly spaced holes in the bottom of the dough in each well.

Place in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until.

the edges are very lightly golden brown and the center of each cup springs.

back when pressed gently.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before carefully.

transferring the cups to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the.

remaining few pieces of cookie dough.

MAKE THE FILLING
Transfer 2 tablespoons of the cream to a small bowl and set it aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a large bowl.

with a handheld mixer, place the remaining cream and beat on medium-high.

speed until soft peaks form.

Add the confectioners’ sugar, and continue to beat until stiff, glossy peaks.

Transfer the whipped cream to a separate, large bowl and place in the.

refrigerator to chill. In the same bowl, place the cream cheese, vanilla,.

salt and reserved 2 tablespoons cream.

If using a stand mixer, switch to the paddle attachment (if using a handheld.

mixer, the beaters will be fine) and beat on medium-high speed until the.

cream cheese is light and fluffy.

Remove the whipped cream from the refrigerator and add the beaten cream.

Using a separate, handheld whisk, whisk the mixture together until light and.

fluffy, adding more cream mixture.

FILL THE COOKIE CUPS
Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a large open tip and pipe.

Instructions
MAKE THE COOKIES
In a large bowl, place the flour, xanthan gum, salt and sugar, and whisk to.

combine well. Add the butter, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon water, and mix to.

Knead the dough with your hands to bring it together. If necessary for the.

dough to hold together, add another tablespoon of water, 1 teaspoon at a.

Press the dough into a disk, and then place the disk between two sheets of.

unbleached parchment paper and roll the dough between 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch.

Cut out 2-inch rounds with a cookie cutter. Gather, reroll and cut any scraps.

Transfer the cookies carefully to the prepared baking sheet the parchment paper from the bottoms of the cookies.

FAQS
CAN I USE SWEETENED COCONUT IN THIS FLOURLESS COCONUT COOKIES RECIPE?

No, this recipe must be made with the wide, flat coconut flakes that I've only.

seen sold unsweetened. If those sorts of coconut pieces are sweetened, they've.

probably been baked with additional ingredients into a separate snack, and.

they're not right for this recipe.

CAN I USE COCONUT FLOUR IN THIS CRUNCHY COCONUT COOKIE RECIPE?

No, this recipe isn't designed to be made with coconut flour, and coconut flour.

is not a substitute for an all purpose gluten free flour.

WHAT KIND OF COCONUT OIL DO I USE IN THIS RECIPE?

This recipe is made with the kind of coconut oil that's solid at cool room.

temperature. In the jar on the shelf, the oil is white. It's often called.

“virgin” coconut oil, but can sometimes carry a different name.

HOW SHOULD I MELT THE COCONUT OIL FOR THIS COCONUT CRISP COOKIE RECIPE?

I usually melt the coconut oil in the microwave, in short bursts at reduced.

power, until it's all liquified. You can also melt it in a double boiler, and in.

a pinch in a saucepan, but it will liquify very quickly so pay close attention!

Then be sure to allow it to cool until it's no longer hot to the touch before.

adding it the rest of the ingredients. It won't solidify that quickly.

CAN I MAKE THESE CRISPY COCONUT COOKIES WITHOUT COCONUT OIL?

Yes! You can replace the virgin coconut oil, gram for gram Spectrum brand nonhydrogenated vegetable shortening, or even unsalted butter.

The butter will make somewhat less crispy cookies, but they're still delicious.

because butter is delicious. Be mindful that using butter means your cookies are.

no longer dairy free, in case that's important to anyone who will be eating.

WHY AREN'T MY COCONUT COOKIES CRISPY?

Did you use too much gf flour? Not enough coconut oil? Did you flatten the.

mounds of cookie dough before baking? Did you bake them long enough? All of.

these issues can prevent your cookies from crisping.

HOW DO I SHAPE COOKIE DOUGH THAT'S TOO STICKY?

Cookie dough that's too sticky to handle can be chilled in the refrigerator a.

bit to help it firm up a bit first.

The butter will make somewhat less crispy cookies, but they're still delicious.

because butter is delicious. Be mindful that using butter means your cookies are.

no longer dairy free, in case that's important to anyone who will be eating.

WHY AREN'T MY COCONUT COOKIES CRISPY?

Did you use too much gf flour? Not enough coconut oil? Did you flatten the.

mounds of cookie dough before baking? Did you bake them long enough? All of.

these issues can prevent your cookies from crisping.

HOW DO I SHAPE COOKIE DOUGH THAT'S TOO STICKY?

Cookie dough that's too sticky to handle can be chilled in the refrigerator a.

bit to help it firm up a bit first.
