Coconut Peaks image

A delightful and easy cookie; recipe is from Denmark. The recipe makes 30 small or 20 large peaks. I strongly recommend that you add the extra step of dipping in chocolate as it gives the cookie that extra dimension and wow factor. I add a bit of butter to the melted chocolate and drip it on top of the peaks. I have updated the recipe measurements thanks to Hokies' hard work - the conversion from metric to cups did not work out, too much of some ingredients, too little of others. The current recipe reflects the accurate measurements after have scaled ingredients and cross checked cup measurements.

Time 20m

Yield 20 large peaks, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup butter, this is 3 tbsp of melted butter, I would say that you could get away with 2 1/2 tbsp melted butter (50 g)
2 eggs, if your eggs are very large I would recommend that you only use 1 egg
6 tablespoons sugar (85 g)
2 2/3 cups sweetened coconut
2 tablespoons lime peel (or lemon peel, I used 1 tbsp and added an extra tbsp of coconut)
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (or your preferred chocolate type)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Melt butter.
  • In a bowl mix egg and sugar. Add coconut, lime peel and melted butter.
  • Let the mixture set for 10 minute.
  • Form the peaks using 2 spoons (or one spoon and fingers) and place peaks on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Large peaks - bake for approx 10-11 min or until golden.
  • Small peaks - bake for approx 7-8 min or until golden.
  • If using - melt chocolate of your choice and dip bottoms of the peaks and let cool or drizzle chocolate on top of peaks.

These coconut peaks are the perfect way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making other recipes, and these coconut peaks are the perfect way to use them up.
