COCONUT COOKIES
Inspired by the traditional German „Kokosmakronen“ that are baked for Christmas this is our rather healthy version. We don't only make them for Christmas to be honest. They are really great for a simple sweet snack that we make when our pantry and level of creativity are empty or low. You only need 3 ingredients!!!Okay, and a bit of salt for the extra kick...
Well, you need to be a coconut fan for these ones, otherwise it will be difficult for you to pretend that you like them ;)
They are gluten-free and refined sugar-free!
