Fruit & nut Coconut cookies






Hello everyone, we had a super duper busy last week. So couldn't post too often. Today after getting my house in place(it was dirty and how) i decided to make these cookies which have been a part of my childhood memory. I remember every time we visited my maternal Aunts & Uncles place we would be given these small coconut balls (Narikol'or laddo, nariyal ke laddo) , unlike the once in North India, laddos in North east are harder and is made only with sugar & coconut. Yummm.. the taste still lingers in my mouth. To make those you need to be super experts as you roll the coconut & sugar mixture straight out of the wok (its burning hot)
So, instead of making those i thought of making these cookies.



I was hesitant in making these cookies as its a absolute love hate ingredient. People who love it are crazy for it and people who do not enjoy it, can not stand even the smell of it. But as i am found of it, i went ahead. i am sure you guys too will enjoys these soft centered melt in the mouth cookies.




Love the sweet & crunchy texture it gives to any dish.
