Coconut Brown Butter Cookies? Are you serious??? I’m a huge fan of anything coconut and truly, adding brown butter just takes these over the top!
I found the original recipe for these cookies on one of my favorite food blogs, The Smitten Kitchen, and I was entranced by the possibilities! She totally had me at toasty coconut and brown butter! One of my goals with this blog is to try to find ways to make recipes a bit healthier when I can so, I began experimenting with some different gluten free options like almond flour and my all time favorite sweetener, coconut sugar.
To say they worked well is an understatement–they worked fantastically well! The cookies come out much darker than the original version (because of the coconut sugar, which is dark) but tender, crunchy, deeply coconut-y with the the warmth of the brown butter in every crispy bite!
