Frequently Asked Questions
How Can I Tell When the Cookies are Baked?
While the cookies may seem a little soft coming out of the oven, they will firm up as they cool. You will be able to tell the cookies are baked when they are fragrant and light golden on their bottoms and around their edges.
Can I Freeze the Cookie Dough?
Since coconut flour absorbs fluid easily, it isn’t recommended that you allow it to sit for any period of time before baking it. As a result, you shouldn’t place it in the freezer or the fridge, but instead bake it as soon as you have made it.
Can I Add Chocolate Chips to the Coconut Cookies?
Yes, you can. Simply stir some chocolate chips into the dough once it is mixed before shaping your cookies.
