    The holidays are the perfect time to whip up these no bake pink coconut cookies.

    Okay, so these were not what I wanted to make. I wanted a softer pink colour, more coconut and then I wanted to drizzle them with pink chocolate and cover them in pink sprinkles. So what happened? Life happened. As it tends to do.

    We had a bit of a nutty night at the Beaulieu compound yesterday. Life with hooligans can be chaotic. Not in a bad way. I love my hooligans but when stuff happens with them I morph into Mom mode. Sometimes Mom mode means there is not enough time to jazz up your cookies.

    It's all good though. I would never trade a minute with my kids for prettier cookies. So today you get simple, completely not elegant or jazzed up, oddly pink cookies. You're welcome.

    I learned how to make the chocolate version of these from my Mom. They are my favourite cookie in the whole world. I'll whip up a batch this weekend so I can share them with you. I honestly would take these coconut cookies over any other cookie in the world. I love the taste and the texture. They were a favourite of my father's too. I made them for him more times than I count.

    Keyword no bake cookies, pink coconut cookies
    Prep Time 10 minutes
    Total Time 10 minutes
    Servings 24 t
    Calories 172kcal

    Ingredients

    • 4 oz white chocolate melted
    • 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
    • ½ cup milk
    • ½ cup butter
    • 1 tsp vanilla or coconut extract
    • ½ tsp salt
    • 3 cups oats
    • 1 cup coconut
    • 2 drops red or pink food colouring
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper, Set aside.
    • Use a double boiler to melt the white chocolate until it's smooth.
    • While it's melting grab a large pot. Add the sugar and milk, cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
    • Add the butter and white chocolate to the pot and cook for about 1 to 3 minutes, whisking until the mixture comes together. It's going to look weird at first and you're going to think you ruined it. But keep whisking and have faith I would not lead you astray.
    • Add the vanilla, salt and oats and stir for about a minute. Then remove from heat.
    • Add the food colouring to the coconut, start slowly and keep adding until you get the desired shade of pink you want.
    • Add the coconut to the pot and stir until combined. If you want the cookies a bit more pink you can add more colouring. It's a personal thing.
    • Use a spoon to drop the mixture on the cookie sheets while it's hot.
    • Allow to cool. If possible, I can't resist these ones, so I always eat some hot. Then act shocked when I burn the roof of my mouth. Apparently you never grow out of some things. Meh, moving on.
    • Serve with a big old pink coconut loving smile!
