300TH BLOG POST

Time flies like anything. It seems to be only yesterday when we first started our free blog with an intent to just save our recipes. There were no plans, that we will make it a professional blog one day.

But with the love and affection of our dear readers, connected to us either directly through this website or different social media platforms, we have grown to a big family and this is the reason, we are capable of publishing our 300th blog post today.

Thank you dear readers who stood by us in this journey through their visits, comments, likes and shares. Without you, this journey was never possible.

ABOUT COCONUT COOKIES

In a blog journey, it rarely happens that you cook one recipe consecutively for 2 days, expert when the first one fails. And that too not necessarily.

If the first one goes fine and still you make it again without a gap, gives a clear indication that it was awesome and delicious to such an extent that you couldn’t stop at the first batch.

These are absolutely delicious, crispy, crunchy yet melt in mouth cookies with a blasting coconut flavour.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL

If taking into consideration the list of ingredients and the entire process, these are extremely easy to make.

This recipe also gives much liberty in case of few of the ingredients. Meaning thereby :

All purpose flour can be replaced with wheat flour;

No compulsion of using only powdered sugar, though not restricted at the same time. However sugar can be replaced with powdered jaggery or brown sugar;

Desi ghee/clarified butter can replace butter &

Semolina is optional.

Furthermore, it is not necessary to have oven. These can be baked in kadai or cooker on stove top too.

STORAGE

These cookies can be stored in an airtight jar for about a week.

Step Wise pictorial recipe of Coconut cookies without eggs

1. Add butter and sugar in a bowl.
2. Whisk them with electric beater. You can use hand whisk too but its time taking and demands strength.  Whisk till the butter turns creamy. If using granulated sugar, doesn’t matter it is completely dissolved or not. So don’t worry about sugar if it is still visible.
3. Put a sieve on bowl and add maida, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
4. Sift the ingredients into the bowl.
5. Add desiccated coconut and semolina.
6. Using a spatula mix everything well.
7. When everything is incorporated, bring all of them together with your hands. Remember, you just have to bring everything together and not to knead them to make a dough.
8. Take about a tablespoon or little more of mixture, bind it between your palm. If the dough is slightly crumbling, don’t worry. Just try to bring it together on your palm. But if the dough is not binding together at all, add milk just by spoons to the entire mixture ti bind it. However we didn’t need to add milk at all.
9. Make roundel of the mixture and then flatten it with the pressure of your second hand giving a round biscuit kind of shape. Make the round biscuits with entire dough likewise.
10. Arrange them on a baking tray lined with greased butter paper. There should be a little gap between all biscuits because their size will increase after baking.
11. Place the baking tray in refrigerator (not in freezer) for 30 minutes.
12. When you are 10 minutes away from baking, switch on the oven @170℃ for 10 minutes for preheating.
13. Put the tray in middle rack of oven with both the rods on @170℃ for 17 to 18 minutes.
14. Thereafter shift the tray to top rack of oven and bake at highest temperature with only top rod on. In our oven, its 230℃.
15. From this point, don’t take your eyes off the oven otherwise cookies will immediately burn from top. For how long to bake cookies on top rack depends on the fact that how much time they will take in turning golden brown. It may be 1 minutes or 2 or 3.  But be vigilant because its not going to take too much time. Ours were done in 2 to 3 minutes.
16. Once they turn golden from top, immediately switch off the oven and bring the cookies out.
17. Let them turn completely cool.

Eggless coconut cookies are ready. Enjoy.

NOTES

1. Instead of making biscuits shapes initially, you can first make a simple dough, refrigerate it and then shape it to cookies after 30 minutes chilling.
2. Whole sugar will add much crunch to it as it doesn’t melt completely even after baking. However you can powder it before using.
3. Don’t think that you can use salted butter and skip the extra salt added. Butter has high salt content than the pinch which we have added.
