Coconutty cookies
Pre-heat the oven at 180 C.
In a bowl take:
+ 132 grams powdered sugar
+ 132 grams butter
Beat until light and creamy.
In another bowl:
+186 grams flour
+60 grams desiccated coconut
+1/2 tsp baking powder
Stir to mix well.
Add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture.
Combine well to form a dough using milk.
Divide the dough into small balls of 20 grams each, and roll them onto small smooth balls.
Flatten each balls a little using your palms and dip them in desiccated coconut to coat them from all sides.
Arrange these on a butter paper lined cooking tray atleast an inch apart as cookies expand on baking.
Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes until light golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool before storing them in an air tight container.
P.S. I use freshly grated coconut, saute it for a bit on gas making sure it does not burn and use it in the recipe.
Using fresh coconut gives a very nice coconut flavour.
You can stir in fresh coconut and coat with fresh coconut/ stir fresh coconut and coat desiccated coconut, use any permutation or combination, but let me warn you the shelf life reduces if you use fresh coconut as it has moisture, so pleas keep it refrigerated but the taste yummmm!!!
