So this is the day 8 (already!) of the Cookie Advent Calendar and I want to post these breakfast coconut cookies by Paul Hollywood as they are a real hit, even if in the book there is a typo in the ingredients and the first time I made them they were good only to floor a road. 😀

In the book they call for 10 grams of butter: they seemed very little to me but ehy, Paul is Paul he never disappointed me!

No way, the grams were almost for sure 100, infact they turned out great with the right dose of butter!
