About the dish

Conconetes are traditional cookies originating from Dominica. These rustic cookies are usually made with a combination of grated coconut, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon water, ginger, and salt. The cinnamon water is made by boiling cinnamon sticks in water. The ingredients are mixed together into a homogenous mass, and scoops of the mixture are then placed on cookie sheets and baked in the oven until golden brown and crunchy. They can easily be found in most colmados (corner stores) in the country. It's recommended to serve them with fruit shakes, coffee, or cocoa on the side.
