Last week I bought a very large bag of coconut. I had no idea what I’d make with it – but I figured having it in my cupboard would give me inspiration.
I debated making some sort of coconut cupcake – but that seemed like too much work. Maybe tropical muffins? Pineapple isn’t in season. Turns out, because I was searching for something complicated I completely forgot about one of the most delicious options – Coconut Cookies.
Not haystacks or anzac cookies – but super chewy coconut cookies. Thin & soft, with a slight caramel taste, and lots of coconut. A little crispy on the edges, but completely chewy with no dry cookie crumbs. The type of cookie that you can stack and eat 3 at once.
These cookies get their delicious caramel-like taste and chewiness from using brown sugar and honey. The coconut gives a great texture, and then slightly underbaking makes them super soft.
Now, I for one usually prefer a thick cookie – but these are so chewy and soft that I didn’t miss having a thicker cookie one bit. They’re delicate in a delicious way that works perfectly with the coconut flavor. However, because they’re a thinner cookie I wouldn’t recommend adding chocolate chips or other add-ins.
