Happy birthday #SundaySupper! I’d like to have you all over for tea! I think I figured out a perfect gluten-free tea cookie. Why do I think they are the perfect tea cookie? Because for once I made something that doesn’t slam your tastebuds and take names later. I even made them petite! So if you want a nice mellow cookie that happens to be gluten-free, this is your cookie.
They are far from bland though, don’t worry. They just aren’t saturated in flavours that can take away from other foods or tea. I made them small and they were kind of crispy. We had them at a picnic at the park and while they didn’t stand out they also didn’t stand a chance on the blanket and got inhaled. We had beers, wine, mixed drinks and other beverages and people were all impressed that they didn’t punk out their tastebuds.
Gluten-Free Vegan Coconut Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 3/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or orange extract optional
Instructions
- Sift together the corn starch and flour in one bowl.
- Mix the margarine and sugar until fluffy in another bowl.
- Add vanilla or orange extract, if using, to the margarine mixture.
- Add flour mixture to margarine mixture and mix until combined. Add the coconut and mix.
- Using a tablespoon measure, spoon onto a very lightly greased cookie sheet. Press down lightly, they probably won't spread.
- Bake at 350ºF for about 20 minutes until golden brown on the edges.

Gosh I know somebody who will rave when she sees your gluten free vegan coconut cookies. We get so much fresh coconuts here, your cookies are going to be a big treat in my house!

I know exactly what you mean by not “slamming your taste buds.”
I have loved being a part of Sunday Supper, and cooking along with everyone each week.
Cheers to another great year!

That’s a big challenge for me to be honest. I love everything to be bursting with flavour and standing out on it’s own. Sometimes you just need a compliment and not a distraction. I’m learning in time but it is hard!

Delicious! Thanks for sharing because now I have what I’ll be making for my next get together with friends.
It hits so many different dietary guidelines, I can generally feed all of my friends with this recipe, minus the one allergic to coconut. *sigh*
