Warm Coconut Cookies

Recipe from Green For Clean Desserts by Annie Grapes

Are you ready to take your baking to the next level? Warm Coconut Cookies are a great way to start. They're delicious and healthier than store-bought cookies. Plus you get the added bonus of knowing you made these yourself! 
Most of my recipes have short simple ingredient lists. Warm Coconut Cookies are an exception to the rule with about 10 ingredients, but most of these you already have in your kitchen or are easy to find in the store. So let's get baking and leave the butter in the fridge cause these cookies are butter free!
