ABOUT Coconut cookies (Both egg and eggless versions) RECIPE

Coconut cookies are so simple to make n yet so delicious. I bet you can never stop with one. They are so addictive and they remind me of my childhood. During which I loved to buy these yummy goodies from Golden bakery that was just a few steps away from my parents house. These are crunchy on the outside and slightly chewy in the center as we bite into them and the mild aroma of baked coconut is just out of this world. I am totally in love with these goodies. Bake them yourself and taste, I am sure you will definitely come to know what am I talking about.
