Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Cookies (Gluten-Free)

These cookies are great for a snack or for breakfast!  They taste fantastic with coffee or tea and they can be dipped in milk, white or any percentage of dark chocolate (dip them in a 70% dark chocolate for a low-glycemic diet or 85% or higher to suit a Paleo diet).

2. Toss in the coconut flakes and stir.  Add your sugar and stir.
3. Finally add the egg and stir until moistened. 
4. Bake on a parchment-lined cookie sheet for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F until lightly browned (be sure to start watching them at 12 minutes - your oven may be hotter than average).
5. Let cool completely before dipping.
