Does a better combination than coconut, almond and caramel exist? The rich flavor of almond and coconut with that gooey caramel are meant to go together like soulmates. I cannot describe it in words, its like love. With the first bite my heart goes "mmmmmm". I don't bake cookies much, but whenever I do, I always make these cookies. These cookies are super easy to make, requires very less time and can be made with few ingredients. My family loves these cookies even more than the basic Choco chip one. So are you ready to begin the sweet love affair of Caramel and Coconut?
