Best Gluten Free Cookie
This recipe is one of my absolute favorites. These cookies remind me of the Keebler fudge stripe variety I had as a kid – only they’re better! My friend Diana Keuilian just published her Cookbook, The Recipe Hacker. These delicious gluten, grain, dairy, soy, free cookies are awesome. The recipe is below:Chocolate Coconut Cookies
For the Cookies:- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup coconut palm sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¾ cup dark chocolate 73% cocoa or higher
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl combine the shredded coconut, almond flour and sea salt. In another medium bowl combine ½ cup melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract and beaten eggs. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix.
- Form round, golf-ball sized, balls with the cookie dough. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden. Allow to cool for 20 minutes then place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler. Simply place the chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan and place that into a larger saucepan that has a couple of inches of water over medium heat. Mix constantly until smooth.
- Dip the chilled cookies in the melted, dark chocolate, then place on a parchment lined plate. Drizzle dark chocolate across the tops of the cookies. Place back in the fridge until the chocolate hardens — about 15 minutes. Enjoy!

PLEASE LEAVE ME DR. OSBORNE’S WEBSITE INFO.
Thanks very much.
Kind regards,

Again. why do we always have to “listen” to a long dissertation. Most of us don’t have the time to sit and listen to this, but would appreciate a transcription to read. Why is this so hard to do?? Naturally Speaking Dragon could translate this for Dr Osborne in 2 seconds.
Hello, Dr. O,
Why is there no mention of multiple sclerosis on your lists of possible auto-immune disorders effected by gluten sensitivity? Do you intentionally exclude it?

I appreciate this information. I’ve “healed” from autoimmune disease by eliminating grains from my diet! All of my symptoms have gone away. I’m 71 so this is a major improvement in my life
I listen with cordless headphones so I can go about my activities while learning and becoming inspired.
People complaining that this being too long-winded may be reflecting another ill in our modern society – too busy to think for themselves and come to a logical conclusion. Most real learning can’t be put in 30 second soundbites.
Dr Osborne talked on specifics issues as well as philosophical ideas about America’s food supply.
