Coconut flavour cookies taste yumm with a hot cup of tea. Add in the goodness of oats and honey and we get a healthy cookie.
It’s crispy at bottom and soft and chewy in the centre. These chewy cookies are super delicious.
I made them like regular cookies as my kids and father like them chewy. Next time I aim at making them much thinner to get them more crispy for my husband’s liking.
This recipe yields 15 normal cookies. You can make 18 or 20 of them for thinner ones.
I weigh entire dough and then divide it in equal portions by weighing them on a digital scale. That ways I get similar cookies.
