    Crunchy Coconut Cookies are probably one of the easiest cookies that you can make. Mine are made with vegan butter, desiccated coconut, sugar, and flour, with a little bit of cardamom thrown in for the subtle touch of Indian cuisine.

    This recipe is easy to make any time you have an unused bag of dry coconut flakes or desiccated coconut. It has just the right amount of sweetness to it that will make you reach out for more. Coconut cookies pair very well with a hot cup of coffee. Try them on a cold wintery day and you will know what I mean 😉

    One trick I use to get a good consistency is to mix the dough gently enough to get an even mix. Over-mixing can make them too hard and the cookie turns out too hard or undercooked sometimes. Once you prepare the dough, the cookies can be shaped into round balls and flattened before baking, or molded into different shapes. That pretty much sums up the procedure. Dressing them up to suit your occasion is really up to you. You can easily dress them up by dipping them (after they cool down) in melted dark chocolate, or by drizzling a slim thread of melted dark chocolate over them.

    Coconut cookies have a good shelf life if you store them in an airtight canister. There is no better time in the year than now to try these cookies. I am really looking forward to your comments on my Facebook page.
