Chewy Coconut Cookies Recipe 445

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder; stir into the creamed mixture. Add the oatmeal, crushed cereal and coconut and mix until combined.
• Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. Cookies should be about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies should be light brown at the edges and on the bottom. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• -Preheat oven to 350.
• -In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, salt and set aside.
• -In a separate bowl cream butter and sugars together.
• -Add the egg and mix well.
• -Combine the flour mixture with the sugar mixture.
• -Add coconut and vanilla.
• Bake for 8-10,
• Times may vary due to different ovens.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Beat the butter in a large bowl using an electric whisk or in a stand mixer until very soft. Beat in both sugars and the vanilla until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg until just combined. Sift in the flour and a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Fold in 100g of the toasted coconut.
• Roll the dough into 14-16 balls (about 45g each) and arrange on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, well spaced apart. Flatten each slightly using the palm of your hand and bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Leave to cool on the sheet briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Break the chocolate into pieces and tip into a heatproof bowl, then melt in 20-second bursts in the microwave. Or set the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water, stirring until smooth. Dip one half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, then lay on a sheet of baking parchment and sprinkle with the remaining toasted coconut. Leave to set for about 30 mins.

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl, cream butter, shortening, and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
• Gradually add water and vanilla.
• Sift together dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt), and add to batter.
• Fold in coconut, then cover and refrigerate dough for at least 3 hours; this is a very sticky dough.
• Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper (or greased).
• Flatten dough using a fork, the back of a metal spoon, or your fingertips--this dough is very sticky--dip the fork, spoon, or fingertips in a bit of flour before you flatten each cookie.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
• Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire rack.
• Store in airtight container at room temperature, or freeze for future enjoyment!
