Cookies
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. If you have fragrant coconut on hand, be sure to make the popular Coconut Paradise cookies using its flesh. The cookies won’t lose their flavour and aroma even after long storage, and will become more crumbly and delicate. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
