Cinnamon season has definitively arrived, so I thought I’d come up with a cinnamon version of my popular no-bake chocolate coconut cookies. Without the chocolate, obviously. 🙂 These no-bake cinnamon coconut cookies are dense, chewy, and bursting with cinnamon flavor.
I love that these cookies are naturally gluten-free, grain-free and egg-free. (Plus a bunch of other allergens like dairy and nuts.) They’re also really easy to make: just melt your oil, dump in all other ingredients, mix and then freeze. That’s my kind of recipe–delicious but not much work!
Recipe Notes
If you enjoy making recipes with shredded coconut, I highly recommend buying your shredded coconut online. In my experience, buying it in bulk is WAY less expensive than buying small packages at the grocery store. (If your local store has a great bulk section, that may be an affordable option, too.) I usually buy this shredded coconut. I also like using it in these coconut butter cookies and my chocolate coconut butter bites.
These cookies keep really well in the freezer, so I usually double this recipe when I make it.
