Desserts Cookies Fruit Cookie Recipes Coconut Four-Ingredient Gluten-Free Italian Coconut Cookies 4.4 (32) 26 Reviews 11 Photos These soft Italian coconut cookies are a hit at any get-together. I've made them gluten free, but you can use the same amount of all-purpose wheat flour instead of gluten-free flour. There are many variations of this cookie in Italy. Some people add chocolate chips and some drizzle dark chocolate over them once cooled.
