Why bake coconut flour Christmas cookies?

The vast majority of traditional Christmas baking recipes contain classic white flour. However, if necessary or if you want to “make” the candy healthier, you can replace it with spelled almond or coconut flour. In most cases, it is not used alone but in combination with other types of flour.

Coconut flour has the typical mild aroma and taste of coconut. It also contains a large amount of fiber and protein and is gluten-free. Recipes for Christmas cookies made from coconut flour are not only delicious but also stay soft and tender for much longer. Last but not least, coconut flour has a low glycemic index, so even people with diabetes can consume it.
