Eating wheat is not an option for me. Most gluten-free cookies are sandy and bland. I think you will enjoy these! They’re perfect for Easter!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons xanthan gum
- 2 ¼ cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
- 1 cup coconut flakes
- ¾ cup chopped pecans
- 1 (10 ounce) package candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®)
Directions
Step 1
Combine butter and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract and salt.
Step 2
Sprinkle xanthan gum over flour in a separate bowl; mix together very well. Beat flour mixture into the butter mixture until dough comes together. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 cookie sheets.
Step 4
Mix coconut flakes and pecans in a shallow bowl. Beat egg whites in a small bowl.
Step 5
Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll into balls. Dip into the egg whites then roll in the coconut mixture. Place 2 inches apart on the greased cookie sheets. Press 3 milk chocolate pieces into the center of each cookie, like eggs in a nest.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Cook’s Notes:
You can also use Bob's Red Mill(R) Gluten-Free Biscuit and Baking Mix or another gluten-free flour blend.
