I love coconut in desserts. These baked coconut cookies are almost all coconut and brown sugar with a little egg yolk and flour for binding. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
I made these cookies as part of a Venezuelan meal. They are bite sized cookies and it is hard to stop with just one.
I cut this recipe to a quarter and made just eight.
You will need for 8 cookies
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 tbsp. all purpose flour
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tbsp. butter at room temperature
1/2 tbsp. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 F. In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients and form a dough.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form bite size balls of the coconut dough and place them on the baking sheet.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until they are brown.
Cool on a baking rack.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of my childhood when we used to eat these coconut cookies. .they look so well baked.
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look simply superb Varada, I too love coconut in dessert, esp cookies..so nicely done.do you think egg replacer works or curd is better?
ReplyDeleteI am not an expert in replacing eggs but since egg is used here to bind the ingredients a substitute that binds would work best.
DeleteThose cookies look crispy on the outside and yummy inside :-)
ReplyDeleteThe texture reminds me of the coconut balls I used to have in my childhood. I am planning to try this with curd as egg substitute...
