How to Prepare Moist and Delicious Coconut Cookies
Ingredients
3 cups of shredded coconut
1 cup of powdered sugar
2 medium-sized eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (optional for a refreshing flavor)
Extra powdered sugar for garnish
Preparation Steps
1. Preparing the Dough:
In a large bowl, mix the shredded coconut with the powdered sugar.
Gradually add the eggs while stirring until you get a cohesive texture.
Add the vanilla extract, grated lemon zest, and a pinch of salt
Continue mixing until all the ingredients are well combined.
2. Shaping the Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
Take small amounts of the mixture and shape them into small balls or discs, as you prefer.
Place the shaped cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each piece.
3. Baking:
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cookies develop a light golden color on top.
Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies moist.
4. Garnishing and Serving:
Once out of the oven, let the cookies cool slightly.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top for a decorative and flavorful touch.
Serve with a cup of tea or coffee.
Tips for Success
If the mixture feels too dry, add a teaspoon of milk or orange juice to achieve the right consistency.
Ensure you use fresh or high-quality shredded coconut for the best flavor.
You can add ground nuts or small chocolate chips to the mixture for variety.
Enjoy your cookies!
