Just made them and they are horrible, very disappointed.
Coconut sugar is 1/3 the glycemic index of white sugar and is equally porportional. I substitute with coco sugar all the time and it gives a somewhat carmelized 'brown sugar' quality to the desserts. Yum! :)
I make these with lemon extract, they are soooooo good, leave out the cinnamon, I also use splenda instead of sugar to make them low carb.
Just baked them. I used honey instead of sugar, so i added a pinch of baking powder and a little more coconut flour. They turned out delicious! Thank you!
When using coconut flour, you need lots of eggs. I wonder if egg whites or flaxseed can be substituted.
The consistency is like cornbread if you use sugar substitute. Follow the recipe and the cookies are moist and delish!! This is my new fav coconut cookie ;-)
Looks like the link didn't work...check the fiber info on coconut flour:<br /> http://www.ehow.com/about_5422496_nutritional-value-coconut-flour.html
These were SO YUMMY! **Warning** coconut flour is <A HREF="http://www.ehow.com/about_5422496_nutritional-value-coconut-flour.html"> 58% fiber</A> ...so if you indulge, you may get more than a tummy ache. (This was the first thing I made with coconut flour...lol I learned the hard way! I took it as a lesson in self control :)
I made these substituting xylosweet (xylitol) for the sugar. The kids are loving it. The cookie consistency is a bit too much like cornbread for me.
Coconut Flour can be found at any store with a health food section
Thanks SO much! I am finding little treasures of GREAT GF recipes in many places - I will never eat bad-tasting GF ood again - and it's SO much better when you can share with your GF friends amd they love it. I'm JUST now discovering coconut flour - *great* stuff Thanks much for thinking of us!! :)
I made these cookies the other day for my GF mother in law for the holidays. I'm normally not a fan of GF stuff (crumbly and dry, usually) but these are delicious. And they were so easy with so few ingredients. I loved them. I'm for sure making them again. Even if you aren't gluten free, these cookies are fab!
where do you get the coconut flour from?
Coconut flour is 100% gluten free. I will try these, thanks.
