When I went cold turkey and cut out all dairy, soy, gluten, sugar etc etc. I immediately cleaned out my pantry and gave away all my baking stuff. I knew if I had to stare at it or even if I made special items for my kids I wouldn’t have the will power to not dive in myself. So a massive box went to friends and family and I headed to Whole Foods to stock up on all the new things I would need to get adjusted too. Its made me incredibly creative with all meals, and baking and from that has come these super delicious Coconut Macaroon Cookies. They were a crowd pleaser for the whole fam and the a perfect replacement for the high sugar and white flour cookies we used to enjoy. Lets just say we don’t miss them.
Enjoy…and make extras cause they don’t last long enough haha.
