Chewy Coconut Cookies

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!
