If you like coconut and want something delicious to prepare quickly, these treats are ideal, but I warn you… they are irresistible and addictive. You will love their texture, soft inside and slightly crunchy outside.

The ingredients to use are very few, and you can prepare them in advance since the dough needs to rest in the refrigerator for an hour.

You can enrich them with a chocolate coating to make them even more delicious, but I guarantee that even in their simplicity, they will not disappoint you… It can be an original treat for a birthday party or accompanied by a cup of coffee.
Even the cooking times are quick, and they can be cooked either in an air fryer or in the oven, the important thing is to check them during cooking. As soon as the surface is golden, they are ready.
