Coconutties – Coconut Pudding Cookies
It’s hard to keep your hands away from the cookie jar when it’s filled with these Coconutties. Soft and chewy pudding cookies that are made with coconut pudding mix and rolled in coconut flakes. These cookies are nicely crunchy on the outside because of the coconut flakes that become toasted while cooking, adding an extra toasted coconut flavor.

“Mommy, I want a cookie.”
“Yes, it has been a while since we made cookies, hasn’t it?”
Once someone gets an idea for cookies in my head, I’m like a little kid, all I want from that moment on is to get my hands on some warm, fresh-out-of-the-oven cookies. Those are the best kind.
Some say that my boys are spoiled because they get what they ask for most of the time, but I actually have a selfish motive when they ask me for cookies. I love cookies as much as the next kid, so I don’t mind at all when it comes to making and eating them. There is an added bonus being the one that made them…I get first dibs on the fresh from the oven cookie!
It’s not a surprise that as a coconut fanatic, my mind went straight to coconut flavored cookies. I actually combined two on my favorite types of cookies here, I made my “soft and chewy” cookies but in a pudding cookie type. It’s not the first time I’ve done that, I made the same combination in Banana Pudding Cookies. They’re always a big hit, so it was time to try the coconut flavor.

- Use a cookie scoop (#50 size) to to scoop even amounts of cookie dough for the cookies. Scoop cookie batter and roll the dough into a ball. Roll cookie dough balls in coconut flakes so that they are completely covered. (You can press them very gently as rolling so that coconut flakes stay on better.)
