Tropical Coconut-Lime Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Cookies

Soft, lightly sweet, and filled with fresh tropical notes, these cookies are perfect for a wholesome snack or a feel-good dessert. Here’s a simple, healthy, gluten-free, dairy-free tropical cookie recipe with bright island-inspired flavors and clean ingredients:

Ingredients (Makes 12–14 cookies)

• 1 ½ cups almond flour

• ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

• 3 tbsp coconut flour

• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted

• ¼ cup pure maple syrup (or raw honey if not vegan)

• 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan: 1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, rested 5 min)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Zest of 1 lime

• 1 ½ tbsp lime juice

• ¼ tsp sea salt

• ½ tsp baking soda

• Optional add-ins: ¼ cup chopped dried mango or pineapple

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, coconut flour, sea salt, and baking soda. Stir until evenly mixed.

3. Whisk Wet Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg (or flax egg), vanilla, lime zest, and lime juice.

4. Combine:
   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms. If adding dried mango or pineapple, fold it in now.

5. Shape Cookies:
   Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie, roll into a ball, and gently press onto the baking sheet to form disks.

6. Bake:
   Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.

7. Enjoy:
   These cookies are soft when warm and firm slightly as they cool. Enjoy fresh, or store in an airtight container for 4–5 days.
