These gluten-free cookies made with coconut, almond meal, and prunes are pleasantly chewy and sweet without being too sweet.

Instructions

    In a small bowl, soak the prunes in enough warm water to cover for 5 minutes. Drain well. Return the prunes to the bowl and mix in the vanilla.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond meal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs until frothy. Whisk in the oil. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold in the prunes and coconut. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.

    Preheat the oven to 375F [200C].  Line two 46-by-13-cm [18-by-13-in] half-sheet pans with parchment paper.

    Using a 30 ml [2 tablespoon] scoop, portion the chilled dough into 24 cookies about 35 g each. Place on the prepared pans and press down to flatten slightly.

    Bake for 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheets once, or until the edges begin to brown. The cookies will not spread much. Cool on the pans before serving.
