Crispy Coconut Cookies Recipe

Crispy coconut cookies

These cookies are light and crispy, with a nice coconut flavour. If you love coconut, if you love crispy cookies, you will love these. And they are quick and easy to make.

The cookies look plain and innocent in the picture but don’t be fooled, they are packed with flavor.

I have included dark or golden syrup in the recipe. I like using syrup, it helps to deepen the flavor. If you don’t have golden syrup, you can skip it.

Eating coconuts helps burn fat and reduce weight. You can read more here. However I am certainly not suggesting that you eat these cookies if you want to lose weight.
