Coconut and jam cookies

This is the main MONTH of the year to make cookies, at least more than usual as there are so many varieties of cookies for Christmas, and it is also a great gift option and sweeten the lives of others. You can’t deny that the warmth of the home that’s felt when baking cookies is fabulous.

These cookies are super simple, and what’s best is that they are done immediately, because the dough doesn’t need any resting time, as it happens with the vast majority of cookies. It has the perfect amount of sugar, since with the jam mixture it will give them the right sweetness.

These tasty Christmas cookies are very common in Nigeria.

These cookies, once they’ve been made, last very fresh for about 4 days if you put them in an airtight jar, or in those typical boxes or jars used to store cookies.
