If you love coconut, you’ll love these treats. They’re like a cross between coconut macaroons and chocolate chip cookies! Our coconut chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with shredded coconut and dark chocolate chips.
These cookies are a great combination of soft and chewy, like a cross between macaroons and chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for shredded unsweetened coconut, so the coconut flavor shines through and isn’t masked by too much sweetness.
Coconut Chocolate Biscuits
Chocolate Coconut Biscuits are light and crisp with the added decadence of rich chocolate, I absolutely love them. This is not my recipe, my mum-in-law has a dear friend that makes these amazing biscuits and she kindly gave me her recipe.
