Coconut cookies step by step
Coconut cookies are delicious and crunchy, with a sweet, tropical flavor that comes from the shredded coconut. They are ideal as a dessert or snack, and their texture is perfect to accompany with a glass of milk or tea. Their fresh coconut aroma makes them irresistible.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup of shredded coconut (you can use fresh or dehydrated shredded coconut)
