Just when I think I can’t come up with another recipe that uses coconut, I come up with one. It’s basically my superpower. Like this:
“It’s a bird!! It’s a plane!! No… IT’S……..
COCONUT RECIPE GIRL!!”
Basically my identity without exaggeration.
Anyway, you know what goes great with coconut? Everything. Obviously.
But also oranges. I wanted to make some AIP macaroons but I didn’t want them to be just like every other AIP macaroon recipe on the planet, so I squeezed a fresh orange into the batter.. BOOM.. completely new recipe.
These are super-easy, crispy on the outside and soft and cookie-y (totally a word) on the inside, with yummy orange flavor. Enjoy!

I just discovered your website, and I am thrilled with your coconut superpowers!!! It really is the other white meat in my opinion. I can’t wait to give this recipe (and several others, including your RX bars) a try.
Mmmmm I’m totally loving the tropical flavors of the coconut and orange combo in these cookies! I love all things coconut too, there are so many flavor variations you can do with it!
