In the Kitchen: Coconut Cookies

So this--this little recipe here--I had to share. It is super quick and equally delicious in all its chewiness. After a little conversation and coconut rant via twitter with the ever-amazing Miss Fi from Previously Owned, I just had to make these again and share, because with my coconut obsession, this quite possibly could be one of my favorite cookies. And how wrong would it be if I didn't share my favorite cookie recipe??

Okay, and honestly, why are cookies and desserts so photogenic? They make it so difficult not to overload recipe posts with images! And since we are on the topic of baking, I thought I'd let you all know I changed my name to Ina. Yup.
