Dessert…it is hard to live without! Those following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) or other restrictive eating plans, often feel deprived of this simple pleasure. Well, you’re in luck if you stumbled upon this recipe. This SCD Legal Coconut Cookie literally tastes like a delicious cinnamon donut, but is 100% SCD-legal and takes about 15-minutes to make from scratch.
Combine all of the ingredients and bake it at 350 degrees F for 10-minutes. That’s it! You’ll have these soft, mouth-watering cookies as a healthy dessert option throughout the week. And, even if you are not on the SCD I can guarantee you’ll still enjoy these cookies.
