Steps:
- Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor for just some seconds.
- When mixing for too long the cream will become butter.
- I know what I am talking about.
Tips:
- Use fresh or unsweetened coconut. Fresh coconut will give you the best flavor, but unsweetened coconut is a good substitute. Avoid sweetened coconut, as it will make your cookies too sweet.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help the cookies get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
