Notes
1. You can not use fresh coconut for making these coconut cookies.
2. You can always replace brown sugar with powdered sugar.
3. Do not over mix the dough else these cookies will be hard.
4. Every oven is different, so temprature may vary, so keep an eye on the cookies couple of minutes before the given time.
5. To give the baking tray a non stick effect, or when don't have parchment paper, grease the tray with ghee/butter and dust with refined flour. This will prevent the cookies to stick on the tray.
