If you are tired of using your overripe bananas for loads of banana bread these tropical flavor inspired cookies are a delicious alternative. Sweet and decadent with a soft and light texture. Sometimes it’s difficult to find a substitute for baked goods that doesn’t contain flour, especially when it comes to cookies. After experimenting with a few of my favorite flavors- bananas and coconut I came up with a recipe that meets the requirements of my sweet tooth- these Gluten Free Banana Coconut Cookies resemble a traditional cookie in shape and texture and are gluten free. The edges crisp up nicely, while the center stays moist and soft-a perfect combination.
