Coconut Cookies is a must try at home for the joy of baking & surprise for the family.Whole Wheat Coconut Cookies Recipe
    Coconut Cookies were on my to try list,also I had half the pack of desiccated coconut waiting to be used up so tried coconut cookies with it.These cookies were absolutely delicious with a crunch in every bite and the coconut flavour was just out of the world.Last year I tried another coconut cookies recipe but it turned out so hard even to bite into so this time I just altered my whole wheat cookies recipe and voila this recipe is a great hit! I am experimenting cane sugar in a lot of baking these days…The taste of these cookies reminded me the thenga mittai which I had during my childhood days…I dont know how many can relate to it, the light brown candy with a transparent wraper and white print on it, I just love it.

    As I’ve worked hard since September for all the festive shoots 😉 , I am leisurely taking a  break from clicking so the posts are coming from the drafts that I had clicked earlier.I have a handful of baking recipes so this is the right time to post cakes and cookies as Christmas is nearing…May be few weeks later will start clicking,will come back with a fresh set of styling and pictures hopefully 🙂

    Total Time40 minutes mins
    Servings12 cookies
    AuthorSharmilee J

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup wheat flour
    • 1/2 cup cane sugar
    • 1/4 cup heaped + 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut
    • 1/4 cup unsalted chilled butter
    • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence optional
    • 2 to 3 tablespoon milk boiled and cooled

    Instructions

    • Measure and take butter, melt it and take it in a mixing bowl, now add cane sugar to it and whisk it.
    • Add vanilla essence, mix it once.
    • Now in a separate bowl take wheat flour and desiccated coconut.
    • Whisk it for even mixing, now add this flour-coconut mixture to the mixing bowl.
    • Mix it well with your finger tips it will be crumbly.
    • Now add milk just enough to gather together to a dough.
    • Do not knead, just gather to form a dough.
    • Now use your measuring spoon or any small scooper to scoop the dough. This is for getting even sized cookies.
    • Roll it and slightly flatten with your palms.
    • Preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10mins.
    • Meanwhile you shape all the cookies, place them on a baking tray with butter paper lined.
    • Sprinkle remaining coconut over the cookies.
    • The cookies are moist so the coconut gets stuck to the cookies easily.
    • Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 mins or until the edges start to brown. Keep an eye after 12 mins itself.
    • Carefully remove them from butter paper then cool in wire rack.
    • Cool down and then store in airtight container.
    • Serve Coconut Cookies warm with a glass of milk or as a tea time snack.

    Notes

    • You can add full maida or use half and half of maida and wheat flour.
    • Do not overbake, the biscuits will become hard.
    • Also if you underbake the cookies will turn out very chewy.
    • Refrigerating the dough for a while avoids spreading of cookies while getting baked. But mine was fine as it didn’t spread much.
    • I got around 12 medium sized cookies.
    • You can skip vanilla essence too to enjoy the full flavour of coconut, I added vanilla essence just for mittus sake.
    • If the dough is too sticky then grease the butter paper. I did not grease as there was no need.
    • The baking timing depends on the cookie size and thickness. If you are making a slighter thicker cookie then it might take at least 20mins to get baked fully, so adjust the timing accordingly. Mine got done in 15mins.
    • You can replace cane sugar with powdered white sugar too. If you are using powdered sugar I can recommend adding 1/3 cup for mild sweetness but if you prefer your cookies to be sweet

      Baked these cookies yesterday and they turned out good 🙂 I used sweetened coconut flakes and hence reduced the amount of cane sugar to 1/3 cup

        Even I have this query… can I use fresh grated coconut? Any changes you suggest to the recipe as fresh coconut has lots of moisture..

          You can use fresh coconut dry roast it until it becomes dry but do not change the color. When it becomes dry then it is more or less like dessicated coconut so you can use it for this recipe
