I’ve been meant to share this cookie recipe with you for ages now, but never got around to it. These buttery, full of flavor cookies are one of my all time favourite homemade cookies. I usually make them for cookie exchanges, or when I want to give someone a homemade gift with for a special occasion or without! Every time I baked these for a cookie exchange, or to give as a gift, I was always asked for the recipe. The recipe is actually my Mum’s, she has been making these cookies for years. My Mum loves cooking and baking, and she’s the kind of person who will always offer you some lovely homemade baked goods with tea if you go to my parents house for a visit. These cookies are very soft, so I always make sure that they’re well packed before I take them anywhere or give them to anyone. Otherwise, they will just turn into a mess of crumbles, that is how soft they are. But I promise if you pack them well, they are sturdy and will hold the shape very well. These cookies are made with my Jamie Oliver Fluted Cookie Cutters, it’s a set of 5 wonderful cookie cutters of different sizes. The cookie cutters are stainless steel with rounded top rims for comfort when pressing, they are nested neatly to save storage which reminds of the Russian doll concept and that’s great for people with small kitchens like mine. Now back to the cookies, this recipe that I’m sharing with you makes around 25 cookies, but I suggest that you make a double or even a triple batch as these are SO good and 25 cookies is definitely not enough. They are so light and delicious so you will eat many of these cookies without even noticing! The cookies are great on their own, but I love the chocolate coconut combination so I always drizzle the cookies with melted chocolate and sprinkle with toasted shredded coconut. I like to make these coconut cookies during autumn/winter when the weather gets cold outside and you need something to cheer you up. A splash of tropical goodness definitely does brighten up your day a little! © Little Sunny Kitchen
