What is your favorite cookie?
My favorite has to be crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. If that’s your favorite too than keep reading, you’re going to love these cookies. 
Before I tell you more about these cookies I’d like to apologize for being mostly M.I.A. I have a pair of clutches helping me around the house and everything is in slow motion, including this blog.
A couple of month ago I decided to give up on chocolate and since then I ate just a little so most of my treats were chocolate free. You can probably add some mini chocolate chips to the dough or maybe drizzle some melted chocolate on top right after baking. Oh, only the thought of a chocolate-coconut cookie makes me drool instantly.
The cookies are so easy to make. While the oven is getting hot, you cream the butter with the sugar (I used only dark brown sugar). Add the egg and vanilla followed by the dry ingredients. 
Place spoonful of cookie dough on baking sheets and bake until golden. 
That’s all, told you they are easy to make. 
What I liked about these cookies was that even after 5 days (that’s how much they lasted) they were still crisp and chewy although I kept them on a plate on the dinning table.
For the recipe you have to visit my friend Lizzy’s blog
That’s about it for today, hope you’re having a wonderful Father’s Day.
Sending you lots of love, 
Roxana

Coconut cookies are right up my alley. I'm all about coconut flavors are summer approaches. This looks like one to try–I like cookies that have a chewy quality to them so this recipe is worth checking out, for sure! Thanks for the recommendation, Roxana!

I love coconut too. I normally add chocolate too it. Coconut and chocolate are one of my favorite combinations. Be careful with the crutches in the kitchen. It can be quite tricky!

I do love crunchy outside and nice and chewy inside so, yes, these are for me! My jaw dropped when I read that you gave up chocolate. Welcome to the dark side with CaffeIna and me. Of course, it's easier for us because we don't like it.

Sometimes chocolate is not in the equation and I want something different. These coconut cookies look like they would fit the bill-thanks for sharing the recipe for these crunchy morsels.

These cookies look fantastic! My husband's favorite cake is coconut pound cake and I'm sure these cookies would become a quick favorite too :) They would almost make me forget about chocolate…I still think almost though!

Roxana, I love the bright color background for the cookies. It is perfect for summer. Coconut is one of my favorite flavors but I often forget about it. I suddenly have an urge to make a big fruit salad with coconut. Have a beautiful day!

These coconut cookies look great for snacking on while I am a quarter full :) Walking around in clutches and you can still bake so well….thank you so much for sharing with us the recipe. You have done a great job despite moving around with clutches. Take care and wishing you speedy recovery :)

So sorry to hear that you are hobbling around on crunches – hope you are all better soon!
Your cookies look fabulous and I have some coconut in the cupboard just waiting to be used – perfect. Hope I can get them made before we leave to go back home next Tuesday – they will be great to share with friends.

Roxana, your coconut cookies look delicious! I like my favorite coconut being the main ingredient here as it is often just one of the "toppings". Lizzy must be so happy seeing your yummy cookies. :-)

I love coconut so I can wait to give these a try. My favorite is the ol' standby chocolate chip. Oh and white chocolate with macadamia nut too.

Lots of yummy love,

Two things – How can you have cookies in your house for 5 days? Even if I hide them, they are gone in 2. And, I love your pics!!!

We love coconut macaron and this looks delicious and light :) My fav cookie would be with macademia nuts but i am cutting down on butter just a little to get back in shape. I am saving this to give a try sometime later.

I have a serious love affair with anything coconut… besides coconut water; for some reason that grosses me out.
