What you’ll need:

1 cup shredded coconut

1/4 cup icing sugar

2 tablespoons coconut flour

TIP: If you don’t have coconut flour you can replace it with more icing sugar.

pinch of salt

approximately 2 tablespoons hot mashed potatoes

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Optional: food colouring

What you’ll do:

In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut, icing sugar, coconut flour and salt.

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes with the vanilla. Add this mixture to the coconut.

Using your hands, work the potatoes into the coconut mixture. The end result should be just wet enough to stick together. If it is too dry, add more mashed potatoes, 1 tablespoon or so at a time.

At this point you can add food colouring to colour your cookies. If you want to have multiple colours, divide the ‘dough’ into small bowls and colour each individually by mixing in a few drops of colouring until you get the shade you want. Be sure to wash your hands between working with different colours because they will ‘cross-contaminate” easily.

Now you can mold your cookies. This can be done by hand by rolling into balls and flattening with the bottom of a glass, or you can use press the dough firmly into chocolate molds (as in the main photo).

If you want multi-coloured cookies, mix some of each colour together in a bowl and then shape.

Once you are finished, set the cookies aside to cure.

These will last for a few days in the refrigerator but we find they taste best if eaten within a day.
