Flourless Coconutty Fruit Cookies

[Caryn]

I experimented with an SCD recipe and the kids and hubby loved these--

 

Coconutty Fruit Cookies

 

These are chewy and do not crumble. You can store them well. I did use one egg in the recipe but I think you could probably use an egg replacer if you needed to. (We don't because the Energe has a corn by-product in it.)

Thank you, Caryn,

 

We can't do the cookies because of the eggs, but wanted to thank you it is so nice of you to share with us.

 

I'm working on a dessert that has a coconut crust and some kind of filling with no eggs, soy, gluten, corn or dairy.

Someone on another list told me that the dates act as a really good binder. The original recipe did not call for dates, so I am thinking it may work out fine without the egg? I may try it and then I'll let you know! I will have to do a little research, but there is a certain amount of water that you add in lieu of the egg.

For you Betty Crockers out there,

 

The helper chef that we did the Igg testing with suggested "canned pumpkin" can be used as an egg replacer, I guess a tablespoon or so for each egg.

Thank you Faith, and caryn,

 

I have pumpkin, I'll try that today. I'll have to get the dates.

I will try that too!

These are really, really, good. I was so shocked. I really never expected them to taste good. I have made sugar free cookies with GF flour before and they were gross. I am starting to think that nut flours are ideal and so are dried fruits. We 'tested' them at the Mother's Day Tea at the Church and everyone who tried them could not believe they were flourless and sugar free.

I think more people would eat these if they knew:

1. how good they are

2. how good for you they are

3. how EASY they are to make!

 

C.P.--

I baked them on a silicone baking mat, so you may want to grease the pan if you don't have one. I'm thinking a little butter would do just to make sure they don't stick. If you can't/don't have butter, just wet a paper towel with some olive oil and lightly coat the pan. Watch them, too. I think they take longer on silicone than on a metal cookie tray.

I'm all out of dates

So we will have to wait a few days before making another batch. Had 48, but they went fast at the Tea Party LOL. Lots of sugar cookies with sprinkles left over, though!
