The coconut yogurt cookies are fragrant little biscuits that contain no lactose.

If you don’t want to use, as I did, lactose-free coconut yogurt, you can easily use regular yogurt with lactose.

I recommend trying these treats in their basic version but also with a delicious pistachio spread filling.

For those who are lactose intolerant, make sure the pistachio cream doesn’t contain it.

Ingredients

Let’s see the ingredients we need to make the coconut yogurt cookies

1 egg
1 pinch fine salt
1/4 cup sugar (if you like, you can increase to 1/3 cup)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (or corn or sunflower seed oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon liquor (your choice, like rum)
1/2 cup lactose-free yogurt (coconut, you can also use regular yogurt with lactose)
2 1/2 cups type 1 flour
1/2 cup potato starch
2 teaspoons baking powder

Tools

In a mixing bowl, break the egg, add the pinch of salt and sugar, and start mixing with a fork.
Add the oil, lactose-free coconut yogurt, the teaspoon of vanilla extract, the teaspoon of liquor, and keep mixing.
Once the liquids are combined, start incorporating the dry ingredients. Sift the flour, starch, and baking powder, adding them gradually until you form a dough that’s wonderfully soft and smooth.
Prepare the dough, flour your work surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin.
As you can see from the images, my cookies are not too thin because I didn’t roll them out finely; I liked this thicker consistency, which I found perfect for dipping in milk or tea.
You prepare them as you like, if you prefer them thinner, roll out the dough a bit more.
Once the dough is rolled out, use a cutter to cut rectangles about 3 inches long. I also made little holes in the surface, using the end of a wooden skewer.
Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Preheat the oven to 340 degrees Fahrenheit static mode and once at temperature, bake the cookies for about 12 to 13 minutes.
After baking, the cookies will be crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. Try them because they are so delicate and fragrant.

These lactose-free yogurt cookies can also be made with lactose, simply by using regular yogurt.

If you want to make your breakfasts and snacks even more delicious, you can fill them with a pistachio spread. Truly a delight
