Coconut Joys! So easy to make and NO BAKE! What could be easier?! I hope you give these sweet treats a try! They are perfect for the coconut lovers in your life!

Coconut Joys! So easy to make and NO BAKE! What could be easier?! I hope you give these sweet treats a try! They are perfect for the coconut lovers in your life!

The holidays are upon us! Like I said in my last post, I truly love this time of the year. The holidays, the cold weather, the holiday decorations going up everywhere and, at any given moment, you will find me in the kitchen.

Baking. With holiday music playing in the background.

Coconut Joys! So easy to make and NO BAKE! What could be easier?! I hope you give these sweet treats a try! They are perfect for the coconut lovers in your life!

Whether it’s baking for the family, friends or my daughter’s teachers, I’m going to be in full baking mode over these next several weeks. Cookies, brownies and cupcakes and muffins are probably the easiest as far as packaging and transporting goes. And there are obviously a lot of baking essentials that one needs in order to produce the perfect baked treat.

Today, I am here to tell you about Heirloom Cookie Sheets.  “The Heirloom Cookie Sheet is made of heavy duty, 18-gauge stainless steel. That’s it. No toxic coatings. No coatings at all – and yet, it’s virtually non-stick! One of the 12″ sides is turned up slightly to provide a handle, so it’s easy to maneuver in and out of the oven and store in your cabinets. The 15″ sides lay flat to allow heat to circulate unrestricted across the entire baking surface, which results in even baking.

There is no need to use cooking spray or liners when baking with an Heirloom.The natural light color of stainless steel encourages even baking to help you avoid burning your cookies. Best of all, the Heirloom is Dishwasher Safe! If you do need a little “extra” cleaning help, especially after broiling with the Heirloom at a high heat, they recommend using a small amount of a non-abrasive powder cleanser.”

I have had the pleasure of getting to know Jeannie, the owner and creator of Heirloom Cookie Sheets. And she is right here in Wisconsin!  We got to talking and emailing and she extended an invite to me to contribute to her upcoming Heirloom Cookie Collection cookbook, featuring 20 cookie recipes and food bloggers from across the country.  All of the recipes are Jeannie’s. She just needed food bloggers to test the recipes and review and test the Heirloom Cookie Sheet.

I actually selected my recipe back in October, before we moved. I chose the Coconut Joys because I love coconut and these no-bake cookies are extremely easy to make.  When baking dozens and dozens of cookies over the holidays, sometimes, you want something easy. Easy but still delicious. My friends and neighbors gobbled these up!

Coconut Joys! So easy to make and NO BAKE! What could be easier?! I hope you give these sweet treats a try! They are perfect for the coconut lovers in your life!

The best part about this recipe is all the variations you can apply – making them the perfect treat for any special occasion. Drizzle on white chocolate or caramel. Add colorful sprinkles or almond slices for a festive occasion.  Also, instead of drizzling on the melted chocolate, you can make an indent in the center of each coconut joy and fill the centers with the melted chocolate. Have fun with them!

    Love coconut and love chocolate, yes (these get) big love from me! I love the simplicity of your recipe too, I think mum went all retro with a little glacé cherry on top 😉

    Hope all is well and settled after the big move, with Thanksgiving coming up I’m sure you have a tremendous feast on offer too!

    I always enjoyed decorating sugar cookies and cutting them out. But my favorite one for eating is snickerdoodles. I’m not sure it’s a holiday cookie but it tastes good at all times.

    Mmm.. I love anything coconut and chocolate! I’m definitely going to have to make these soon! I think my favorite holiday cookies are Lukken. They’re a thin, buttery waffle cookie from Belgium. You use a cast iron griddle heated on the stove to make them. It’s an all-day affair, but they’re soo worth it! I have very fond memories of making these with both my mom and grandma. 🙂

    I love coconut and those cookies look wonderful! So does the heirloom baking sheet and I really like that it is stainless steel instead of aluminum.

    My favorite holiday cookie when I was a child was a cathedral cookie with different color marshmallows held together by chocolate and nuts. Now I would have to say I more often go for a chocolate chip or oatmeal cookie!

    I love coconut and these coconut joys look fantastic! I also love how the heirloom cookie sheet is uncoated stainless steel instead of aluminum.

    My favorite holiday cookie is probably oatmeal with cranberries or other dried fruit.

    Trying to pick my favorite holiday cookie is like trying to pick my favorite food… truth is, I’ve never met a Christmas cookie I didn’t like. : ) Right at this exact moment, I could go for what my mom used to call “Hello Dollies” — kind of like a seven-layer bar.

    Nothing makes my heart flutter like walking into my Mom’s house to the smell of baked goods. I hope to provide the same feeling for the wife with this heirloom cookie sheet. I’ve never been a huge fan of coconut, but those joys look delectable!

    Has anyone tried making these with coconut oil instead of butter? I may try substituting half of the butter with it to see how that turns out.
