Chocolate and coconut are a delicious combination in this gluten-free double chocolate coconut cookie..

This cookie is adapted from a recipe I saw on Food Network several months ago. I thought it would work great gluten-free and it did. The flavors of the chocolate and coconut worked great with the gluten-free flours.

My family loved these, even the ones that don’t like coconut all that much enjoyed these.

These cookies would work great for the holidays, but really these cookies are perfect for all year long. They would be great to make in a large batch and keep in the freezer for lunchbox treats and easy desserts.
