I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Tomato, sundried tomato, herb and red onion loaf. I am usually critical of my bakes, but truly, this one tastes amazing.
I love making bread.
Wow, that looks phenomenal!View attachment 3979

Someone gave me a bag of coconut flour. It's supposed to be higher in fiber and lower in carbs. So I made chocolate chip cookies. I added extra chips to make up for the lower carbs. Can't have a low-carb chocolate chip cookie, now, can we? Lol
They're pretty darned good!

They look fabulous KL.
Coconut flour is low in carbs and often used with ground almonds as a flour subsitute. Plain chocolate is also used in low carb recipes.

Does the coconut flour have a strong coconut flavor?
It has a very subtle flavour. If you use it with other ingredients that have stronger flavours, you can't taste it.
However it does give a slightly different texture to bakes.

Really? How so? I hardly ever bake , but when I do I like using whole wheat flour. I love how heavy and dense it is. I prefer it to light and airy things, but I've had some gluten free baked goods that were just not good. Very dry and crumbly.
I have to say, I'm loving these cookies. Can't stop eating them.
You are only supposed to sub 20% of regular flour with the coconut flour according to the package. I do not taste coconut in the cookies. I had a problem with my brown sugar so I subbed with some molasses.
This was one of those crazy times where I didn't measure and just threw the ingredients together. I hope I can recreate it. The texture is different. I think if I didn't use regular white flour and used gluten free, they would not have been good. I agree most GF stuff I've tried have bad textures. These were chewy when they were still warm but more crisp the next day. But still very good and they are great dunked in tea.

I want those cookies, KLS!
Fiancé got me an awesome cookie cutter set today. You know how cookie cutter sets usually have a theme to them (like sets of specific animals and so on)? Well, if there's a theme to this set, I can't work it out - one stegosaurus, one rocket ship, and one snail. I love it. He also got me some vegan sprinkles. So I'm making some dinosaur cookies

They're bright pink and came in some very floral packaging
(not that little boys don't like either of those things)
