Do you ever wonder what happens to all the food showcased on this blog? I absolutely hate to waste, but I’ve gotten in the habit of offloading many of my recipes – particularly bite-sized desserts, which have a habit of disappearing far too quickly. This recipe for Gluten Free + Vegan Chocolate Coconut Cookies was no exception, and I was happy to bring a tupperware o’ treats to share with my colleagues. Not only because Mondays are hard, and cookies make it better, but also because these cookies are simply delicious. If I do say so myself.
And speaking of saying so… so did my manager’s manager’s manager (the director of my whole department!), who promptly shouted across the office: “YUM! You’ll always have a job here, Marisa!”
SO I thought I’d get it down in writing. *wink*

The funny thing is, I can’t take full credit for this recipe. See, I spent last weekend attempting to make a gluten-free and vegan version of one of my all-time favorite cookies: the coconut macaroon. Although it’s tricky, I’ve made gluten-free and vegan desserts before (like these Apple Butter Thumbprint Cookies), and they’ve always turned out. But for some reason, I just couldn’t nail this recipe. I pulled out a very crumbly third batch before I finally gave up out of frustration.
Turns out I’ve got competition. Because the husband decided to give it a whirl, using the ingredients that I’d haphazardly left thrown all over the kitchen. And he nailed it. That stinker. Of course, I added a few of my own signature ingredients to, ahem, make it even better, but he really gets partial credit. If not more than that. Anyway, these cookies were a big win. Try ’em out on your manager.
