I love the coconut biscuits sold in the shop near my house in India. They are the best cookies I have ever tastes. Chewy and tasty! Recently I came across a coconut cookies recipe in a book and I wanted to try that and see if it tasted like the one which I used to love.
What the heck? I have my husband to eat whatever I cook. Poor guy he has no choice. I know I am not going to lose anything for trying. I have become somewhat skeptical after my Monster cookie experience. But, that is never going to stop me. And I am happy that I tried. These cookies came out perfect and my husband loved them too. Hey, after all the hard work we put in, a kind word of appreciation especially from our husband is what we need. Isn't it?
Here is the Coconut Cookies recipe for you,
Ingredients:
1 cup of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of butter
3/4 cup of sugar
2 tsp of vanilla essence
1 egg OR 1/4 cup silken Tofu
1/4 cup of grated coconut (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup of Sweetened coconut (especially used to bake)
Method:
Preheat the oven at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
In a bowl, beat the eggs for 2 min in high and 1 min in low. Now add sugar and beat well.
Add butter and vanilla essence and mix with the help of a beater for 1 min.
Add both the coconut and mix well till the coconut is coated with the dough.
In a baking sheet, place a spoonful of dough.
Do not flatten the dough. Make sure that they do not have any particular shape. This really helps as the coconut will give a dimensional look to the cookie.
Bake it for 10 -12 min at 375 degrees.
Remove it from the oven, cool it and remove it using spatula.
Store it in an air tight container and enjoy!

A kind word of appreciation from fellow bloggers is what you need too...Lovely cookies. I like them and though I cannot taste them, it looks delicious.
send some across dear.. i love coconut cookies! is it possible to replace maida with wheat flour?
@mahimaa,
I think you can. I have never tried it that way though. Let me know if you try these with wheat flour.
cookies look cute and yummy .....
Looks very tempting :-)
Very nice Sangeeth, I too tried today :).
I wud like to answer Mahima. If you will relace it to wheat flour than cookies wont be much crunchy. I did so today. They r very very soft while eating.
Thanks bhawana for answering on my behalf!
