Coconut cookiesI grow up in a house full of cookies year-round, my mother was always proud to be able to serve cookies to anyone who arrived, even un-announced visitors. Of course, with my sweet tooth, this was a recipe for disaster and a never-ending fight followed after my mother discovered time and time again empty cans of cookies… but these Coconut Cookies were safe. Growing up I used to hate coconut.
Cookies, in Chile, are a common treat for snacks, and having assorted cookies is expected for birthday parties, breakfast, and other celebrations.
