Preparation

How to prepare Gluten-free coconut cookies

To prepare the gluten-free coconut cookies, pour the coconut flakes in a bowl and add granulated sugar 1, mix with a spoon 2 and add the egg whites 3.

Mix everything thoroughly and start kneading with your hands 4 until the mixture becomes uniform 5. Then take a small amount of dough, about 5-6 grams, and pinch it with your hands to create a cone 6.

Gradually transfer the tufts on a dripping pan, lined with parchment paper, spacing them well 7 - you will get about 35. Bake in a preheated convection oven at 370°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, until they turn golden brown on the surface. Remove from the oven your gluten-free coconut cookies 8 and let them cool before moving them, as when hot they will be soft and could break. Once cold serve them and enjoy 9.

Storage

Gluten-free coconut cookies can be stored in a container at room temperature for 4-5 days.

Tips

To have a more regular shape you can use the dough to fill small half-sphere molds.

It is recommended not to use coconut flour, because it is coconut flakes that gives a more rustic and raw result.

With the excess yolks you can make custard.
