Roll-Out Coconut Cookies for Body Ecology Diet💗

I find that most coconut flour cookies taste like cardboard so I was reluctant to create a recipe for one. Yet, after being asked to do so by many people healing on Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.) I decided to give this one a go. I am pleased (and surprised!) with how they turned out …. they roll like a dream and are as moist as I could get without the dough falling apart.

This versatile cookie is free of refined sugar, gluten, and yeast.There are eggs though and so if you can’t eat eggs here is an egg-free almond cookie.

Beautiful decorated with coconut oil that has been softened and mixed with spirulina, beet root powder, and turmeric 💐

Vegetable glycerin sweetens this cookie because is sweet without feeding harmful yeast, bacteria, or viruses living in the body of those healing an infection/overgrowth such as Candida or GBS+. This sugar substitute is safe for diabetics as does not influence blood sugar or insulin release.

With brave wings you can fly, overcome obstacles, and transform hardship.

Every person differs in how they step in and ride a healing dietary practice like B.E.D. If you are are currently on stage 1 and taking this way of eating seriously (focusing on bullseye to heal with every meal) then hold off on making this recipe unless you first culture the coconut milk and flour (see below for how to do this simple procedure).

Roll-Out Coconut Cookies 

Prep time: 15 min // Cook time: 5-10 min

Makes: 1 dozen

Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut flour*
• 3 eggs
• 3 Tbsp coconut milk (or another milk)*
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/3 cup ghee or coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup vegetable glycerin
• 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract (alcohol-free)

Method

• Combine coconut flour, coconut milk, eggs and salt.
• Mix oil, sweetener and almond extract in a small bowl.
• Mix wet and dry ingredients.
• Place dough in fridge for 1 hour.
• Roll dough between 2 pieces of wax paper until 1/4-inch thick.
• Remove top piece of wax paper and sprinkle dough with coconut flour if sticky in any one spot.
• Cut cookies into shapes.
• Place shapes on parchment-lined cookie sheet with metal spatula.
• Bake at 350 degrees until edges are light brown, 8-12 minutes.
• Cool before handling or they break easily.

Tips & Tricks

• Use ghee or cultured butter instead of coconut oil.
• I never tried to substitute another thick milk for coconut milk. 
• Swap 1/4 cup honey for the glycerin, unless healing on B.E.D.
• This is a friendly recipe for those on Paleo, B.E.D.*, or GAPS.
• Another cookie recipe while healing is almond roll outs (egg-free)
• This recipe is easy-to-digest and combines well with animal protein.
• Frost with flax frosting or basic frosting (gluten/dairy/sugar-free).

*If you’re on the early stage of Body Ecology Diet, you may want to culture the coconut flour and milk to introduce enzymes and probiotics. This extra step makes them easier to digest. If you skip this step then best to enjoy as an occasional, transitional treat.
