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*
  • 1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips Or chunks, 85 grams
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil Room temperature, 5 grams

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-blade, combine the coconut, coconut flour, and salt.
  • Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla and pulse until a ball forms.
  • 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.
  • Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place 1 1/2” apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • 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.
  • Let sit for 3 hours and then prepare the white chocolate coating.
  • Mix the white chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-proof bowl.
  • Microwave at half power in 15-second increments, stirring after every 15 seconds, until melted.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
