Let me start by saying this is not your typical cookie. This
is more of a cookie that you make when you are either limited by the
ingredients in your fridge(which I was today), or limited in the ingredients
you can use because of allergies or food restrictions. But, bearing that in
mind, it is a pretty tasty little morsel. The recipe that inspired this cookie is here.
After reading the comment section, I knew some tweaking may help, and I think I did
all right. The chocolate drizzle, and coconut sprinkles, while optional, brings a balance to the
flavours that really works. The recipe only makes 9 cookies, perfect for when that
cookie craving strikes, but you don’t want a ton of leftover goodies to snack
on.
Grain Free Egg Free
Coconut Flour Cookies With Grapefruit
6 tbsp organic coconut flour
5 tbsp organic butter, softened
2 tbsp coconut nectar (I am sure honey would work well too)
1 Tbsp ground Chia seeds
3 tbsp shredded organic coconut
1 tsp organic grapefruit
zest, **
3 tbsp organic grapefruit juice **
¼ tsp sea salt
Optional, but yummy additions:
1 tbsp melted Enjoy Life chocolate chips (or chocolate chips of choice)
1 tbsp shredded organic coconut
Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix together everything but the optional add ins in a bowl
until thoroughly mixed and in a soft ball. Let rest for 3-4 minutes then divide dough into 9 equal
balls. Roll each ball with the palms of your hands and then flatten to about ¾ inch thickness and bake for 9-11 minutes on a parchment
lined pan, or until just starting to brown slightly on the edges.
Let cool, and drizzle with optional chocolate, and sprinkle
with shredded coconut if desired.

**I am going to try these again with both lime zest and
juice, as well as orange! I will update the recipe when I do.
