    14 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut, 128 grams
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Flour, 7 grams
  • pinch of Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil, Room temperature or melted, 28 grams
  • 1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup, 60 milliliters
  • 1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract, Or water
  • 1/4 cup Freeze Dried Strawberries, 16 grams*
For the White Chocolate Coating:
  • 1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips, Or chunks, 85 grams
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil, Room temperature, 5 grams

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-blade, combine the coconut, coconut flour, and salt.
  3. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla and pulse until a ball forms.
  4. Add the freeze-dried strawberries and pulse 1 or 2 times until broken into small pieces, being careful to not pulse so much that the berries pulverize.
  5. Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place 1 1/2” apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 5 minutes and let cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before removing the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Let sit for 3 hours and then prepare the white chocolate coating.
  8. Mix the white chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-proof bowl.
  9. Microwave at half power in 15-second increments, stirring after every 15 seconds, until melted.
  10. Dip the bottom of the cookies in the melted white chocolate. If the cookies seem too delicate, use a spoon to slather the white chocolate onto the bottom of the cookies.
  11. Place the cookies, chocolate side up, on a piece of parchment paper. If in a hurry, place the chocolate-coated cookies in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden more quickly.
  12. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Fresh strawberries won't work here as they have too much moisture.
