I know what you must be thinking, coconut? Yes I made cookies with coconut and let me tell you these might make me rethink how about I feel about coconut. Now my favorite will always be peppermint cookies but these come in second!!

I have always had some sort of an aversion to coconut but lately I have been rethinking it and giving it another try. I have finally found a recipe where I actually love to eat it! My family just said a big “what!!” Trust me they are good!
