When I posted a collage of the dishes that didn’t make it to the blog last year, the first requested recipe was the coconut cookies one. To be honest, I was a little surprised as that was the last one i thought people would ask for. Not sure why i thought that. I really did love making it and it quickly disappeared when i took it to my friends. If you are diabetic, I suggest you run far away from this one as the sugar is a little overwhelming. It is perfect for kids or people that have a sweet tooth. It is very easy to make and has a soft and chewy cookie texture. You would not be needing a mixer for this and it is a great work out for your arm when whisking the egg *wink wink* Enjoy the Afrolems offering of our coconut cookies.
Recipe for Coconut Cookies
Ingredients
2 cups of coconut flakes
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1/2 stick of butter (50 g of butter) – melted
1/2 cup sugar
Method
Whisk the eggs and sugar till its a light yellow colour and incorporate air as you mix. (This is your arm workout for the day lol)
Melt the butter and pour into the egg mix and continue to whisk.
Mix in the coconut flakes and then the flour.
Heat the oven to 345 F or 175 C. If you do not have specific measurement on your oven, just use your discretion to adjust to medium heat.
Then with your hand, scoop your cookie dough onto a greased pan or parchment paper if you have and bake for 20-25 mins.
Note: The cookie dough would be soft when you have mixed it but would solidify once its baked. Remember also that this is a soft chewy cookie.
Serve with tea or any beverage of your choice.
