Hello friends! I have been a great fan of the conventional coconut cookies bought from the bakery… But after knowing the creepy ingredients used in them (preservatives, artificial colours, flavours n fats) I ve just stopped buying them.. As a MΓΆm I just cannot take chances with my LO’s π©βπ¦health at the same time I don’t want him to feel deprived of the sweet treat! So I started learning n doing it myself… That’s the main intention behind all these experiments… I do wanna share the bestπrecipes among them with as many MΓΆms as possible (sry am not being biased, Dads too…) N one such superb recipe is this organic coconut π΄ cookies πͺ!
Ingredients:
- 1C grated fresh coconut π΄
- 1C organic wheat maida / all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
- 1C organic sugar
- 2inch of vanilla pod
- Butter as much as required to make dough (around 1/2C)
- 1/2tsp baking soda
How to?
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- Dry roast the grated coconut until the you get the dry coconut aroma (around 5 mins).
- In a large bowl sieve the flour n baking soda.
- Add powdered sugar n vanilla pod.
- Add grated n roasted coconut.
- Add melted butter little by little and mix…
- Until it becomes dough as show below π
- Make small balls with the dough and gently press it in your palm n smooth the edges. Place them on the greased baking tray.
- Bake them at 180C for about 15mins to 20mins or until it turns golden brown and cracks on top are visible like this π
- Gently transfer the cookies to a wired rack. Leave to cool completely.
- Lip-smacking n guilt-free coconut cookies πͺ are ready to be served! The whole wheat cookies tasted yummier than the ones made with all purpose flour… They look and taste better than branded ones <ahem cookie man used to be my favourite & this kind of exceeded it!>! What are you waiting for, do give it a try!!
