SPOON COOKIES

Spoon Cookies image

This recipe is from my Italian mother-in-law. She refers to them as spoon cookies because most Italian cookies are shaped and these are just dropped from a spoon. They're usually seen at Christmas.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The coconut flavor is very subtle, and the cookies are so soft and chewy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out really dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough.
