Where to find ingredients
Sweet cassava starch (polvilho doce) is a staple in Brazilian cuisine and can usually be found in the international foods aisle of well-stocked supermarkets, or more reliably at Latin American or Brazilian specialty grocery stores. It's also available online.
Shredded coconut can be found in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. Look for unsweetened varieties if you prefer to control the sweetness of your cookies, though sweetened is also common and works well.
