These cookies taste like macaroons, but with a satisfying crunch. They are so good by themselves and even better with a dollop of Nutella between them.
Coconut Cookies
1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 stick (168 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups (240 6) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup (80 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 stick (168 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups (240 6) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup (80 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
Nutella for filling. if desired
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cream butter until smooth.
2. Pour in the sugar and the vanilla extract and beat that in for another 30 seconds.
3. Add eggs one at a time, and allow each one to mix in completely before adding in the next.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Then add it to the bowl with butter and sugar.
5. Stir it in and fold in the shredded coconut
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds on to a parchment lined baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart since they spread like they mean it.
7. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven until the edges turn golden, about 10-12 minutes. Let cool. Enjoy as they are or fill with Nutella.

ReplyDeleteLove it! Getting your daughter into the world of baking, yes! Thanks for baking from my site once again. These cookies look PERFECT, and Nutella is a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of her! And, I have a HUGE confession to make: I have NEVER tried Nutella...EVER.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I’ve been dying to try

ReplyDeleteAny idea on the calories for these yummy cookies?
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Anonymous, but I don't count calories! You'd have to sum up the calories in the entire recipe and divide by the number of cookies it makes (which would vary depending on the size you make them). Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI know you say it depends on scoop size, but given roughly a tablespoon, about how many cookies will this recipe make? Somewhere in the two dozen range? (Cookies alone, not filled, since obviously that would halve the amount!)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that I'm a little late responding...the recipe should make about 50 cookies or 25 sandwiches.
