Ingredients
200 gr. confectioners' sugar1 cup coconut milk (gf, I make my own homemade coconut milk)4 tbsp corn oil4 tbsp any gf cake flour you like(white rice flour/ cornstarch, potato starch, or any ready commercial baking mix...)400 gr. flacked coconut
Directions
Preheat oven to 140°C. Line a cookie sheet with a baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar with the oil and the milk. Add the flour and whisk until well combined, add the coconut. Stir well with a wooden spoon.
Shape a small balls from the batter. Pour onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake about 20-25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack, because when the balls are still warm are very soft and it's very easy to break them. When the cookies are cooled, pour each into a small paper cups and serve with a cup of coffee!
You can add a toasted hazelnut in the center of each cookie when you shape the balls.

    How is this gluten free if you are using cake flour? Isn't that just a finer grind of wheat flour? - 8/9/09

    I thought it's clear to use any gluten free cake flour you like. I'm going to edit it to explan better.

    Hi, I'm sorry for this mistake, there is no baking powder added in this recipe. I probabbly wrote it automatically in the directions,thinking of the other recipes I wanted to post too, but I was in a hurry and I had no time to add the others. Thanks for noticing mi this mistake, I'll edit it.
