Gluten-Free White Chocolate and Coconut Cookies

Two weeks ago while at CES, Lori and I were laying in bed trying to decide where to go for dinner when she pulled out a gluten-free white chocolate and coconut cookies. My first thought, where the heck did you get a cookie? She mumbled it was part of my press lunch. Lori is on a strict gluten free diet, so her press lunch is different than mine, hence my unexpected response to the cookie. She gave me a piece and to my surprise, it was beyond good. I was almost ashamed to ask for a second bite because the last few days hasn’t been a walk in the park for her when it comes to what she can eat. Having no shame, I asked for another bite, and she gladly obliged. I spent the rest of the night thinking about that darn coconut cookie, hence today’s post. So here is my attempt to recreate that wonderful, chewy gluten-free cookie.

I ended up using a lot more eggs than anticipated because coconut flour soaks up lots of liquid and to avoid a dry cookie; I had to adjust accordingly.

The kids enjoyed pairing the Coconut Cookies with  Nestlé Nesquik® Chocolate Milk. It is made with 100% real milk and has 8g of protein in every 8 fluid ounces serving plus it’s gluten-free which makes it an ideal choice.
