This eggless, chewy, buttery, coconuty cookies are the perfect cookies to make during Christmas! This is one of our favorite cookies and this is great for every Christmas cookie tray and cookie exchange! Coconut adds to the festive flair and a cookie with it is always amazing. Coconut flakes and coconut milk add to the nutty and delicious flavor of these cookies.
This is an amazing cookie and the recipe is very simple. Just mix everything, scoop, and bake. Though there are many coconut cookies, this one is easy and delicious. All you need is some pantry essentials and 20-30 minutes of time max. Hence, these make an instant homemade edible gift!
These delightful cookies are made using unsweetened sgredded coconut and not fresh or sweetened ones. If using fresh coconut, make sure to roast to make it dry. If adding sweetened coconut flakes, adjust the sugar quantity accordingly.

The cookies spread alittle while baking, so make sure to place them a little apart in the baking sheet. This is a versatile cookie to which any mix-ins can be added like nuts, chocolates, or dried fruits. These cookies stay fresh for a week to ten days. These are gone in a flash in our home and I have to hide a couple to know the shelf-life. The cookie dough can be rolled in sugar and then baked too!
Coconut flakes are like snowflakes and love to enjoy these during this time especially though these can be enjoyed any time of the year. If you like the flavors of this cookie, then check these Coconut Buns, these are amazing and addictive coconut stuffed buns.
