How To Make It
Step 1: We begin the preparation of our coquitos, for this, we preheat the oven to 180 ºC / 356 °F heat up and down and fan, then in a bowl add the eggs, sugar and with the help of an electric mixer, beat until the mixture has taken a whitish color and the sugar has been integrated.
Step 2: Add the grated coconut and with the help of a spatula, integrate very well, then cover the container and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (this will make the dough a little more compact so we can shape our coquitos more easily).
Step 3: After 30 minutes, remove from the refrigerator and take a portion of the dough, give it a circular shape and then make a tip style as shown in the video, repeat this process until the dough is used up, you should get 12 coquitos.
Step 4: Place the coquitos on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake for 12 minutes (as each oven is different, we recommend you to supervise the coquitos in the last 2 minutes, if you see that they are already golden brown, they are ready, if you see that they are still a little pale, cook them for a few more minutes until golden brown, be very careful because in a matter of seconds they can easily burn).
Step 5: Once the 12 minutes have passed, remove from the oven, let cool for about 5 minutes and our delicious sweet coconut bites are ready.
Tips To Prepare It

It is very important to let the coconut dough rest in the refrigerator for the indicated time, so that the mixture is more compact and easier to handle.
Once you take the coquitos out of the oven, let them rest for 5 minutes.
