CRAZY for Coconut Cookies (Wheat and Milk Free Recipe)

We love, Love, LOVE coconut. We use the coconut oil from Tropical Traditions for everything. We also use their coconut flour, coconut flakes and coconut chips. We even just toss coconut chips in a saute’ pan with no oil and turn to medium heat and toast raw coconut chips. It is an AMAZING snack.

Well, the other thing we love to do is try, share and EAT healthier treats made with coconut. That’s why these cookies that we are going to share with you today are super special. They are healthier, made with lower fat and calorie ingredients. Plus they are wheat and dairy free. It is the PERFECT treat, dessert, snack, craving crusher cookie in one delectable recipe.

So be prepared to be Crazy for Coconut too with this Crazy for Coconut Cookies! 

Ingredients needed for Crazy for Coconut Cookies:

  • 6 Egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 Tbsp Truvia (or 1/3 cup sugar)
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk  (optional)
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cranberries or dried
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions for Crazy for Coconut Cookies:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Grab six eggs and divide the white and yolks.  Place the yolks aside and put the whites into the bowl of a mixer.  Sprinkle the 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum on top.  This makes it so that the whites stay stiff after they have been whipped.  It is what makes the cookies so fluffy.  If you don’t have xanthan gum you can still make the cookies, the whites will just fall a bit more when you fold in the other ingredients.
  • Beat egg whites until they are super stiff.

  • Dump all the other ingredients on top of the egg whites and fold in until well combined.
  • This recipe is very forgiving.  You can leave out the cranberries, walnuts and chocolate chips if you just want a light and sweet coconut cookie.
  • For the coconut milk I like to use the canned kind but you could also use the carton kind or heavy whipping cream. Or you can leave it out entirely.  It just helps to add a nice creamy flavor.  Have fun, play with it and find your favorite.  🙂
  • Drop by spoonful’s onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

    I don’t know if you realize it, but your instructions say to add the yolks to the mixing bowl. That’s not right, is it?

    Thanks for sharing your ideas. Another thing is that scholars have a selection between government student loan plus a private education loan where it is easier to go for student loan consolidation than in the federal student loan.

    I believe that avoiding packaged foods will be the first step in order to lose weight. They may taste excellent, but ready-made foods have got very little nutritional value, making you take in more simply to have enough strength to get with the day. In case you are constantly eating these foods, switching to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will make you to have more vitality while feeding on less. Great blog post.

    Thanks for your concepts. One thing really noticed is banks and financial institutions understand the spending behavior of consumers as well as understand that a lot of people max out there their real credit cards around the breaks. They correctly take advantage of this specific fact and commence flooding a person’s inbox in addition to snail-mail box along with hundreds of no interest APR credit card offers just after the holiday season concludes. Knowing that if you’re like 98 of all American public, you’ll get at the chance to consolidate card debt and transfer balances to 0 apr interest rates credit cards.

    In these days of austerity in addition to relative panic about having debt, many individuals balk resistant to the idea of having a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise and also pay for a trip, preferring, instead only to rely on the actual tried and trusted procedure for making repayment – raw cash. However, in case you have the cash on hand to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, that’s the best time to use the credit card for several causes.

    The technology has been available for decades — NASA has been using solar-powered satellites since the 1960s, and as far back as World War II, passive solar heating systems (which turn solar energy into heat instead of electricity) have been used in U.S.
