Fabulous! I used crystallized ginger. These are so yummy! -
I had to come back and change my review. I had originally given them 4 stars. However they tasted even better the next day and I think they deserve 5 stars! The coconut flavor really comes through. Definetely a sweet cookie but oh so delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe Sackville. -
These are really good cookies. The aroma while they were baking was heavenly. I made these with Nutmeg instead of Allspice (I was out) and Splenda to try and cut the calories a bit and they're great. I was surprised because I thought they might be too sweet with all the sugar and coconut but they are "just right". DH had already gotten ready for bed and he had to get back up to try one!! Thanks for posting SG, I'm taking some to work in the morning to share, I'm sure they'll be a hit!

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
