Let's do a fun activity with cookies. These coconut almond cookies are made with a deep indentation and then served with pina colada. So we have Pina Colada Cookie Shots.
You can make the cookies in advance . Then just pour pina colada and serve them to your guests. For kids make virgin pina colada.
The same dough can be used to make regular cookies but baking time will reduce as these will be thinner.
These cookies have crispy edges and slightly soft centre.
