Think of these crunchy treats as a cross between a macaroon and a sugar cookie. For Day 9 of our 12 days of Christmas cookies, we're harnessing the nuttiness of coconut in these gluten-free cookies.
Coconut Crunch Cookies

Active Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix until well incorporated. Form the mixture into a cylindrical log 2 inches in diameter and wrap in parchment paper. Chill in fridge for 2 hours or up to 3 days.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 1/4-inch rounds. Place cookies 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through the baking time. Let cookies cool completely before removing from baking sheets.
