Asher is really into his bickies and cookies recently. In my attempt to experiment to make some at home, I read and discover the use of gelatine. The result was better than what I thought. The gelatine, egg and coconut oil bind it together. I used a mixture of arrowroot and coconut flour so it is not only nut free, but it provided a more “cookie” like texture. A winner in my books as it is really simple to whip up!


- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup arrowroot or tapioca flour
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 3/4 tsp gelatine (with 2 tbsp water)
- 2-3 tbsp of coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp bicarb soda
- 1 egg
- vanilla
- cinnamon
- salt
- 2 squares of lindt 85% dark chocolate chopped
- Preheat oven to 180C. Line cookie pan with baking paper.
- Bloom gelatine with water for 5 minutes.
- Whisk all ingredients together. Spoon and flatten onto baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes till golden brown.
