Eggless Coconut Cookies

 Eggless coconut cookies are a delicious treat that you can easily make at home. Here's a simple recipe for you:




Ingredients:

  • 150g purpose flour
  • 50g shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 100g butter (at room temperature)
  • 100g powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 10g milk powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 35ml milk 
  • 10g custard powder
  • Extra shredded coconut for rolling (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl, sift together together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, milk powder, and custard powder, then add the shredded coconut. Set this dry mixture aside.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix the butter and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or a whisk until it becomes light and fluffy.

  4. Add the vanilla essence and milk to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.

  5. Mix the dry mixture with the butter-sugar mixture, stirring with a spatula or spoon to form a dough. If the dough is too dry, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to achieve the right consistency.

  6. Once the dough comes together, keep it in the refrigerator for around half an hour to set.

  7. When the dough is set, dust the marble top with flour and roll the dough lightly. Cut the dough with a biscuit cutter of the same size.

  8. If you want, sprinkle the extra shredded coconut on top to add more coconut flavor and texture.

  9. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet with the help of a palette knife, leaving some space between them so they will bake evenly.

  10. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12–15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown around the edges.

  11. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note: Once the coconut cookies have cooled, you can store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Enjoy these homemade eggless coconut cookies as a tasty snack or a sweet treat with a cup of tea or coffee!
