I
think these cookies are adult favourites as children mostly prefer chocolate
chip cookies or cream biscuits. Here we both like these cookies but our son
doesn’t like it at all. If you like coconut flavour I am sure you will love
these coconut loaded chewy and delicious cookies. I really love the combination
of coconut and cardamom flavour. So I sometimes add cardamom powder and it
tastes heavenly!
