Coconut Cookies
The buttery crumbs that melt in the mouth.
That nutty flavour of Coconut bringing memories of my home town.
This is what the Coconut cookies evoke in me.
Though everyone in the family loves cookies, I don't make them often. Because it needs some time to make cookies. I dont mean the preparation time, but the baking time is a bit long since I need to bake the cookies in batches. So after a couple of batches, I tend to get bored.
To make 30 to 35 cookies, we need,
cake flour 450 ml
cornflour 75 ml
powdered sugar 125 ml
softened butter 250 g
dessicated coconut 250 ml
jam and almond slivers- optional
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius.
Sift cake flour and corn flour together. Combine with the sugar. Add softened butter and knead gently to form a soft dough. Gather to a ball and refrigerate for one hour.
After an hour, form small balls and roll them on the dessicated coconut. If using jam, make a small thumb impression on the top and drop jam. or place an almond sliver on the top.
Keep on a tray allowing space for expansion. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned.
Store in airtight containers when completely cooled.
