My review
Four-Ingredient Gluten-Free Italian Coconut Cookies
904
Buckwheat Queen
"These traditional Italian soft 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."

Too chewy, used Carb Rite Flour and erythritol and extra flour also. Not great.

I had to add more flour for the dough to hold together. I think my egg whites made more liquid because they were from large eggs. I also used unsweetened coconut. The sugar in the dough makes...

Delicious! Fun and easy to make! I added chocolate chips to one-third of the batch. My tips are: not to fret if the cookies fall apart a bit when rolling them in the coconut. Just pat toget...

These "Four-Ingredient Gluten-Free Italian Coconut Cookies" were quite good. They looked like "tiny snow balls," so they are perfect for the Christmas platter. I shaped mine with my meat-ball sc...

Delicious and easy to make. Best with dark chocolate drizzles! I've added this one to my favorites. I do agree with the other posts that adding a little extra flour helps with texture.

Super easy and great flavor. A great alternative to macaroons that come form the store that typically have gluten. Very light, but sweet.

Really good! Nice cookie. Crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Will definately make again! Used brown sugar and worked perfectly! Would recommend baking. Better than most GF cookies.

This is a great use of left-over egg whites. They are a smidgeon lighter than the regular macaroons but still have that great chew. I topped them with a chocolate drizzle because I love the fl...
