These are decadent!
I know many of us have vowed to lose a couple pounds this year so this recipe may be a temptation you don't want to see. :)
In my family we're ramping up our exercise regime so we can still occasionally indulge in goodies like these. They have been rated with 5 out of Five stars here.
The coconut and white chocolate make such a lovely combination of flavors ~ if you don't care for white chocolate, I don't see any reason why dark chocolate wouldn't work just as well.
In fact, I may try them that way next time.
And there WILL be a next time. hehe.
The recipe is another winner from Donna Hay, and you can find a printable copy of the recipe on my recipe blog by clicking HERE.
Thank you for stopping by today!

I can see why these white chocolate and coconut cookies rate a 5-star. Oh my, these cookies look fabulous. Served with milk, just perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... I love these cookies. Great photos, as usual. You must tell me where you got that cute little milk jar - it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh, yum! White chocolate chunk cookies sound great. I'm not a milk drinker, but I do like that cute little bottle. Love the pink ribbon on the cookies. It adds such a beautiful touch! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteOh, these look delish, and we are trying so hard at our house to be all about healthy eating. I think I will have to try this recipe though, maybe I'll only taste a couple and give the rest away, haha!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are great too, they should be in a magazine or cookbook!
The pictures are delicious, and just luscious! These are beautiful cookies!
ReplyDeleteYvonne
Wow, what pretty cookies...all white and sweet. I think I would use dark chocolate, as you suggested, just because I love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks...Diane
Someone gave us white chocolate chip/macadamia nut cookies, and I'm sad to report that I finished them yesterday. Sigh. I love the idea of adding coconut. Your photographs are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs could make a burnt cow pie look delish. :)
ReplyDeleteI love anything with coconut. These must be healthy since they have cocunut right? Thx for sharing, I love the little milk bottle.
Hi Mari, I especially love the last photo with the tiny milk bottle. This looks so beautiful! I love white chocolate and coconut but have never combined them. I must try these!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and tempting cookies....
ReplyDeleteNow you are being a very bad influence on those "other" people who are trying to shed the extra pounds from Christmas. Me on the other hand. Yes please.
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look so yummy! I will have to bake these.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Donna
These cookies look so tasty...I'll need to share this recipe with my Mom as well...she loves coconut.
ReplyDeleteMmm...with dark chocolate it would be like a Mounds Bar! I love coconut.
ReplyDeleteSue
WOW!!! I love the combination of white chocolate with coconut. Your photo look just as AWESOME!!! as the recipe sounds.

Oh Mary, you have me drooling over those cookies. I'd love one right now with a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you about ramping up the exercise and not giving up all the foods I love. I'm bookmarking this page! Sounds off the charts!!!
ReplyDeleteGet thee BEHIND me, white-chocolate-and-coconut cookies!
ReplyDeleteOh, heck. I might as well eat them--they'll end up behind me anyway...
Oh my, I just can't eat these now...but, I will in the near future. They look so good. Thanks for explaining the self-rise flour formula. I never use that stuff. Love your recipes and photography.
ReplyDeleteCookies look so delicious an dhtat bottle of milk is adorable!!!! beautiful fotos!! as always:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cookies
ReplyDeleteOh I am late to the party...
ReplyDeletethese look fabulous...I think I will make some to send to Sam at school...he loves coconut and chocolate! In fact so do I!
Only you could make plain blond cookies look so beautiful. I'm saving this one.
ReplyDeleteI adore the clarity of your images....what camera do you use, may I ask?
ReplyDeleteVery nice blog :)
Not sure what I want first the little milk jug or the cookies. You always amaze me. I really need to stop reading recipes so that I can stay on my diet as I vowed not to eat sweets this entire month but who am I kidding:) I usually crack at around 3PM each day. Thanks for the visual share.
ReplyDeleteJoyce
Hi Mari...what deadly cookies! You have displayed them so beautifully too. I am co-hosting a "Murder Mystery Tea" in 10 days and will be adding those cookies to our menus...there may be another murder over those cookies!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and any excuse to make one of your recipes.
Carla
Hi Mari,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment :) That's what I love about blogging, all the inspiration we get from each other. Your blog does the same for me, and I adore looking and drooling over all your table settings, as that is a passion of mine as well.
That milk jug is too darn cute!!
Since I am on operation slim down, I can't partake in anymore baking for a while. I have been trying to be good for my hip surgery.
I love the Donna Hay magazines! Yet another cook magazine that if I started buying, I couldn't get rid of!!
This is really tempting! I can't resist anything with white chocolate!
ReplyDeleteThese look pretty and delicious! Great photos. New year diets be damned!
ReplyDeleteto be honest i was iffy at first because i never bake cookies from scratch (lazy) haha but i tried your recipe and it is a WOWER. thank you very much! much love, leslie
ReplyDeleteThese look scrumptious even though I'm not a big white chocolate fan! Now with a little dark chocolate in them, I'd probably be over the moon!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Mari....you never cease to amaze me not just with your wonderful food creations but your photography is just fabulous...Gourmet magazine would not have gone out of business if they were using your photo's.....look forward to seeing what you come up with during the new year....Sue.
ReplyDeleteA happy marriage! White chocolate and coconut. Love the milk jar.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they'd get a 5 from me too!
ReplyDeleteI made these this morning - here are my changes: I subbed half brown sugar for the granulated sugar. I also rolled the dough into walnut-sized balls & flattened with a glass before baking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this recipe - it's a definite keeper!
Mari, I just started my own food blog, for men who want to learn to cook. Check it out and give me some suggestions, like how do you get all of your great pictures? Lee
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cookies!
ReplyDeleteI baked these last night and they were delicious. Very different. I used dark chocolate chips instead of white. I will add more chocolate chips next time.
