This tasty coconut cookie needs just 5 simple ingredients.
Does it have to be frosty outside to think about baking cookies? Heck no! Sometimes a little joy means whipping up a batch of moist & chewy cookies in only 30 minutes, using just 5 simple pantry ingredients. Listen up all you coconut lovers, this one’s for you!
I love coconut, but add a hint of dark chocolate and I’m hooked. I call them Coconut Dream Cookies, perfectly moist, but still crispy and chewy. Not really as moist as a Macaroon but not as crispy as No-Bake Haystack Cookies. They’re the best of both worlds.
If you’re a real coconut lover, don’t drizzle or dip them in chocolate. Just revel in the pure coconut yumminess. However, if you’re like me, a quick drizzle of dark chocolate never hurts.
Plain or all dressed up, it’s up to you. Enjoy!
