The drink Coquito is one of my favorite things about the holidays (did you see my Gift Guide here?), so I thought, why not make it into cookie form? The idea stemmed from the e-vite for my work’s cookie exchange in early December. Usually I would take up the offer to bring three dozen store-bought cookies, but this year I thought I would adult-up and make something. Hence, the Coquito cookie idea. It’s actually pretty easy to make! Follow below for how to make Coquito cookies.
What is Coquito?
Coquito, or “little coconut”, is a Puerto Rican style egg nog made with Puerto Rican rum, coconut cream, coconut milk, and sweetened condensed milk. You then serve it super cold. It’s down right delicious and super festive. I have been so excited to try it out as a cookie form and hopefully have another Puerto Rican-esque recipe under my belt.
