OK, so these cookies aren’t completely devoid of “flour” as the recipe calls for both coconut and tapioca flour. But as far as the colloquial term goes, yes, these sweet, nutty bites are free of refined white, or “enriched wheat,” flour. Hooray!

Enjoy each bite knowing it’s made with whole, nutritious ingredients. Serve with large-brimmed glasses filled with homemade dairy-free milk for dunking!
