Today we’re celebrating my favorite person’s birthday!!! Erik, you can sit back down. I’m talking about my momma, of course! 😉 Okay, Erik, you can stand up too!! (Second place should get something, right?) Hehe. J/K!

Every year, I make sure to write a post or two or three dedicated to my mom. She’s known as “Popo” in my family, aka “Grandmother” in Chinese, and “Grams” in English. One of her favorite things in the world, besides family and fitness and making fun of my less-stylish-than-hers gym outfits… is coconut!

Omigosh, that was a mouthful!

If you’ve been with me a long time, you know that Grams can not get enough of this drupe! Yep, I had to say drupe. One day, I might even achieve my lifelong dream of saying “drupe” out loud. Stay tuned. Anyway, I’ve dedicated these chocolate coconut bars, this paleo almond joy, friggin’ coconut chocolate chip ICE CREAM, and vegan coconut truffles (!) to her. But by far, one of her very favorites was my paleo vegan coconut macaroons.

Funny thing about those macaroons? If not made with the correct type of coconut flakes, they become… just the thing you did not expect. Which can be quite a bit disappointing. See, if you make those macaroons with these small coconut flakes, you’ll make the most delightfully round, thick, and perfectly tall macaroons. But if you use large coconut flakes, they go flat. Like a thick, delicious pancake that’s actually a cookie. Made out of coconut.

So guess what we did today?

WE MADE ‘EM. With LARGE coconut flakes. Into these Chewy Paleo Coconut Cookies. They’re so unbelievably good… sweet and moist on the inside, with crispy, chewy edges on the outside. The Ultimate coconut cookie.

The second my mom saw these, she immediately started making plans to hide and portion them. She has the same problem I do with, ya know, not eating the whole batch. In one sitting. She gushed over them, and asked me, “HOW do you do it??” And I’m like, “HOW do you cook so well?!” My mom thinks it’s the funniest thing in the world that she cooks savory food like a boss, and I pretty much exclusively bake.

Still, I’m in the kitchen, so… like mother, like daughter. 🙂

So will you join me in making a special birthday batch for one of the best moms on the planet? I dedicate everything I do that has any meaning at all, any positive impact at all, to her. She’s my constant inspiration and my guidance.

Love you, Mommy! <3
