Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, *combine* the large eggs, granulated sugar, and shredded coconut. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is *smooth and even*.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to *180°C (350°F)*. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, *scoop* mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using about *two-thirds* of the spoon for each cookie. Ensure to leave enough space between them.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for *15 to 17 minutes* or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
Step 3
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy these *delicious, gluten-free* coconut cookies!
Servings
Ah, the sweet triumph of homemade coconut cookies! Here's a serving suggestion or two to elevate your cookie experience:
Classic Coffee Combo: ☕🍪 A cup of freshly brewed coffee or a creamy latte alongside your cookies will transport you to that cozy little cafe right in your home. The smooth bitterness of coffee pairs perfectly with the sweet and nutty flavor of coconut, offering a delightful balance.
Dairy Delights: 🥛 Immerse these cookies in a cold glass of milk for a dunking experience. The milk complements the chewy texture of the cookies and makes for a nostalgic treat that will have you reminiscing about after-school snacks.
At Your Next Gathering: 🎉 Stack them high on a decorative plate and sprinkle some extra coconut on top for visual appeal. These cookies are a crowd-pleaser, so make sure you have extras prepared!
Equipment
A medium-sized bowl works best for easily combining your ingredients. Make sure it’s large enough to hold the mixture, but not too excessive to make mixing difficult.

An easy tool for beating the eggs and combining the mixture. A whisk helps to aerate the eggs, but a fork can work just as well if you’re limited on tools.
Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. A non-stick tray is also a great option!
Use this for scooping the cookies onto the baking tray. Ensures even-sized cookies for consistent baking.
Variations
Want to adapt this recipe for dietary restrictions or preferences? Here you go:
Gluten-Free Goodness: 🥥 These cookies are naturally gluten-free, boldly using the power of coconut instead of flour for those mindful of their gluten intake.
Vegan Variations: 🌱 Replace the eggs with a flaxseed mix (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg). Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken and voila, you have yourself a vegan alternative!

Intermediate bakers, consider adding toppings like chocolate chips or finely chopped nuts for an extra crunch and flavor dimension.
- What is the best way to store these cookies?
For experienced bakers, store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week. Alternatively, freeze them for longer storage.
