- Mistake 2: overdry in the oven – the center will lose softness.
- Mistake 3: get too thin a dough – then the cookies will spread too much.

FAQ
Can it be prepared in advance?
Yes. These cookies are convenient to bake in advance and store in a container.
What can replace coconut oil?
In this recipe, it is the coconut oil that creates the character and texture, so it is better not to change it unnecessarily.
What to do if the dough is too sticky?
For this recipe, stickiness is normal, but the dough should not run. The main thing is to take your time and form small balls, and not try to make the mass completely dry.
Author’s Tip
In such a simple baking, I wouldn’t try to press the perfect shape out of the dough. Here it is more important not to overdry the cookies and not to close the workpieces on the baking sheet. If you give them space and don’t overcook them in the oven, the result will be much better than if you try to do everything “too neatly”.

This cookie is kept on a very short shelf life, so it’s a good example of how a few simple ingredients can make a big difference. Coconut oil and coconut sugar form the base of the flavor, coconut liquor adds softness, and oat syrup helps bring the dough together. As a result, cookies with a delicate coconut tone and a soft center are obtained, if you do not overcook them in the oven. The recipe is suitable for those who do not use animal products, but it is quite interesting and simple like homemade baking without complex additives. The most important thing here is to carefully monitor the consistency of the dough and not to place the balls too close to each other.
Ingredients
- wheat flour – 130 g
- coconut oil – 60 g
- coconut sugar – 80 g
- Creamy coconut drink – 4 tbsp. spoons
- oat syrup – 1 tbsp. spoon
- salt – a pinch
What can be replaced
- It is better not to increase the amount of coconut drink unnecessarily, so that the dough does not become too soft.
- Salt is important here even in small quantities – it collects a sweet taste.
- Coconut oil is better left in this recipe, because it forms both texture and aroma.
Preparation before the start
- Prepare the coconut oil so that it can be easily kneaded with the sugar.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C in convection mode, as in the basic recipe.
How to cook (step by step)
- Mix coconut oil with coconut sugar until smooth. Here it is important that the mass becomes uniform, without separate hard pieces of oil.
- Add coconut drink, oat syrup and a pinch of salt. Mix well so that the liquid part is combined with the oil base.
- Pour in the flour and mix thoroughly. You should get a thick, sticky dough that does not flow, but does not crumble either.
- Form small balls. Do not make them too big, because the cookies will noticeably increase in size during baking.
- Place the balls on the parchment at a good distance from each other. This is important so that the cookies do not stick together in one layer.
- Bake for about 10 minutes at 180°C in convection mode. After baking, allow the cookies to cool slightly to stabilize.
