In case you have missed this about me, I will tell you – I love the beach. Absolutely adore it. Winter, spring, summer and fall – all you have to do is call. No, but really…it has this strange power of me. It is also the only place where I can truly relax.
And, lucky me, I got a little one who loves the beach as much as I do!! 🙂 Matt and I will take any opportunity to get close to the water. A few weeks back we went to a picnic with some friends out at the beach in the Rockaways. We had the best kite-flying weather I have ever seen, and a great day of sun, sand and friends! I also made some yummy cookies (see recipe below) for the day.
And now on to the fun snacks!
Gluten-free Chocolate Chip and Coconut Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 1/4 cups gluten-free flour (I use Bob’s 1:1)
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups flaked coconut (unsweetened)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place foil down on a cookie sheet or lightly coat with extra coconut oil to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, beat together the coconut oil, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Slowly stir into the liquid mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips and coconut.
Spoon cookie dough onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 7 – 9 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for several minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool.
The recipe will make about 25 – 30 cookies depending on size. Let me know how you like them!
Yum!
