The delicious coconut cookies for all coconut lovers.. this recipe doesn’t need much plating.. the picture says it all!!

Ingredients

Start here, then move straight into the method.

  • 2 egg whites
  • a pinch of vanilla
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 3/4 cups shredded coconut
  • Apricot jam for decoration

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Start preparing the coconut discs dough by whipping the egg whites with a pinch of vanilla for about 3 minutes.
    Timers: 3 min
  2. Add the sugar and whip so the sugar dissolves well; we don't want grainy sugar affecting the texture and taste of the coconut discs.
  3. Add the grated coconut and fold the mixture with a spoon.
  4. Add the flour and stir with a spoon as well.
  5. The coconut disc dough should become soft and cohesive.
  6. Shape the dough into rounds or discs and arrange them on parchment paper on a tray.
  7. Make a small indentation in the center of each disc with a very small spoon or your finger.
  8. Place the tray in a hot oven at 180°C and bake for only ten minutes until the discs are golden.
  9. When cooled, decorate the coconut discs with apricot jam and serve.
