I 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 unannounced 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.Coconut cookies
Cookies in Chile are a common treat for snacks, and having assorted cookies is expected for birthday parties, breakfast, and other celebrations.
