CCC - Coconut Coffee Cookies image

A wonderful sweet, chewy and tropical cookie with a hint of coffee. I originally tried this recipe just so I could use up some leftover coconut milk, but I ended up enjoying it so much I will now buy coconut milk in order to make these cookies! The original recipe (from a coffee enthusiast's home page!) called for 2 tablespoons of instant coffee, but I find I'm happy with one - do experiment to see if you prefer less or more! I've also found that the flour-coconut ratio is quite forgiving: I've used only 1/2 cup of coconut and made up the difference with extra flour with beautiful results.

I've made these cookies several times now, and they're always perfect. They're chewy and flavorful, and the coconut and coffee flavors complement each other perfectly.

I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I loved these cookies! The coconut flavor is really prominent and the coffee adds a nice depth of flavor.
