Cookies : Coconut Nutty Cheese Cookies 椰子花生芝士球

I find these cookies most unusual. They are tasty, no doubt about it. But the texture is more candy-like than cookies. The outer coating of peanuts is crunchy and fragrant while the insides of the "cookies" are soft and chewy. 

You can get addicted to these sweet cookies. The crunchy peanuts blended tastefully with the soft and sweet honey, coconut and cheese. Once we started munching on these nutty cookies it was hard to stop!  

This is truly a sweet indulgence!
