Coconut cookies were a childhood favorite! Whether it was the Parle coconut cookies or the bakery coconut biscuits, they were both delicious.
Your new favorite cookie recipe will be this coconut cookie. Why am I being so dramatic? Well, to be honestly speaking, due to the burst of flavor supplied by desiccated coconut, coconut cookies are particularly mouthwatering.

For those who haven’t already baked items in an air fryer, here’s a quick summary of why someone would do anything like bake cookies in an air fryer:
Portion control: Make a few and put the rest of the dough in the freezer.
Baked cookies in a flash: You can get fresh cookies in as little as 6 minutes after starting on your air fryer (if you already freeze or refrigerate the dough).
Doesn’t cause your kitchen to overheat: If you don’t have air conditioning, turning on the oven in the summer is miserable because the heat stays in your cramped kitchen. Therefore, using an air fryer comes in handy when you do not want to heat your house, particularly your kitchen.
Is It Good to Use Toasted Coconut to Make Coconut Cookies?
Yes, you absolutely can! These cookies will have a rich nutty taste from the toasted coconut.
How to Store Leftover Cookie Dough?
Use plastic wrap to wrap the cookie dough to keep it fresh. It’s possible to freeze cookie dough for up to a month.
