Yes, this is a cookie without chocolate. Once in a while, I will make a cookie that doesn’t involve chocolate, but it is rare.
These cookies are for the coconut lovers out there. It uses coconut oil, shredded coconut, and coconut extract. Plus, they are not only vegan, but they are gluten-free and naturally-sweetened. They are super quick to put together and would be perfect for your holiday baking.
