COCONUT COOKIES

Make these coconut cookies for the perfect pick-me-up. They're coated in luxurious dark chocolate and toasted coconut sprinkles

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Afternoon tea

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

200g unsalted butter, softened
75g caster sugar
75g light brown soft sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 large egg
275g plain flour
125g desiccated coconut, toasted and cooled
100g dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Beat the butter in a large bowl using an electric whisk or in a stand mixer until very soft. Beat in both sugars and the vanilla until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg until just combined. Sift in the flour and a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Fold in 100g of the toasted coconut.
  • Roll the dough into 14-16 balls (about 45g each) and arrange on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, well spaced apart. Flatten each slightly using the palm of your hand and bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Leave to cool on the sheet briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Break the chocolate into pieces and tip into a heatproof bowl, then melt in 20-second bursts in the microwave. Or set the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water, stirring until smooth. Dip one half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, then lay on a sheet of baking parchment and sprinkle with the remaining toasted coconut. Leave to set for about 30 mins.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, unsweetened coconut: Fresh coconut will give your cookies a more intense coconut flavor. If you're using unsweetened coconut, you may need to add a bit more sugar to the dough.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and still soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: The cookies will continue to set as they cool. If you store them before they are completely cool, they may break.

Conclusion:

These easy sweet coconut cookies are a delicious and simple treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy or crispy, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
