Healthy Grain Free Coconut Cookies
Love cookies but want to cut on sugar and eat healthy? Great! I have a perfect recipe for you. These healthy coconut cookies are super easy to make. They are gluten – free, grain – free, dairy – free and what I am very happy about also sugar – free. Using dates as natural sweetener makes these cookies absolutely guilt – free. Yeyyy!!!
I like using dates in my recipes not only because of great flavor but also because they have plenty health benefits, they are rich in fiber and support brain function.
Remember to soak the dates in hot water for few hours before preparing cookie batter.
