Strawberry Coconut Cookies

The excitement and celebrations of the last two months or so has calmed. It has felt like I have been on a hamster wheel ever since my husband’s 40th birthday in late July. The busyness came to a crescendo with the twin’s third birthday two weeks ago. And now it feels like things are settling to normal levels of chaos. For a couple of weeks anyway. But one thing for sure is that spring is in the air and more importantly, strawberries are EVERYWHERE. If you are living in Australia you are probably lucky enough to be able to grab a punnet of strawberries for one dollar. And they are goooood. Sweet and juicy. Just perfect. And the perfect excuse to make these delicious Strawberry Coconut Cookies that are free from added sugars and only sweetened with fruit.
