Oatmeal Desiccated Coconut Cookies椰蓉燕麦酥饼

I choose to bake these Oatmeal Desiccated Coconut Cookies as it has oats as part of the ingredients. It is pretty simple to shape and I love the rusty look of it. In order to make the cookies look more even I measure the dough with measurement spoon. It is alright if just scoop the dough with a spoon by agak-agak (roughly estimate).

These cookies are lightly crispy with chewy bites from the oats. Pairing between oats and desiccated coconuts taste great. Do consider baking these oatmeal desiccated coconuts cookies if you still wonder what type of cookies to bake for the upcoming Chinese New Year. Happy Baking!
