scd no-bake lemon coconut cookies

healthy no-bake lemon coconut cookies

Lemon & coconut are equivalent to peanut butter & jelly in my book. I’m convinced that these 2 flavors are made for each other!

Especially in no-bake cookie form- I CANNOT get enough of these right now. They have the perfect blend of sweet & zesty that has me craving them on these warm spring/summer days.

No-bake desserts also just have a special place in my heart… they’re 99% fool-proof & I’m HERE FOR IT. I don’t have to worry about burning, under-baking, waiting, pre-heating, cooling, blah blah blah.

paleo and specific carbohydrate diet cookies without refined sugar

These lemon coconut cookies are also specific-carbohydrate-diet friendly, paleo, refined-sugar-free, grain-free, gluten-free. So in other words, if you have a mouth you can probably eat these! I have a very good feeling that these will be one of my go-to desserts this summer.
