Coconut No-Bake Cookies

Where are my coconut lovers at? Can I tell you a sad story? I’m the only person in my family here in TX who likes coconut. And I don’t just like it, I LOVE IT. But whenever I want to make a coconutty treat I stop myself because I know if I make it, I will be the only one eating it, and I really shouldn’t be eating entire batches of coconut treats by myself. Well, every once in a while I throw caution to the wind and just do it, then pawn them off on unsuspecting friends and neighbors. This easy coconut no-bake cookies recipe is one of my favorite ways to get my fix. They’re so easy and delicious, and a fun change from the traditional no-bake cookie (which I also love.)

As I was making these the other day I had a thought. What if I could make no-bake cookies into nicer looking shapes than the little mound shape they automatically end up in? So for these, I put the mixture into mini muffin tin so they were more round than usual! Another time, when Valentine’s Day was coming up I tried making them heart shaped. I pulled out my huge box of cookie cutters, dug out the heart ones, sprayed them with a little cooking spray and scooped the mixture inside. After they were cooled I carefully pulled the cookie cutters up – the result was pretty cute if you ask me!

Like this? Holla at these nutella no-bake cookies too, or if you’re looking for more valentines inspiration, these heart-shaped cupcakes are SO CUTE.
