Coconut Chocolate Jumbles Recipes

Steps:

• Sift the cake flour, baking powder and salt together; set aside. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter until light. Add the granulated sugar in two additions, beating until fluffy after each portion is added. Add the whole egg; beat for one minute. Add the egg yolks and continue beating for an additional minute. Blend in the vanilla extract and light cream. In three additions, add the sifted flour mixture, mixing just until the flour particles have been absorbed. The dough is quite sticky at this point.
• Divide the dough into three portions on sheets of wax paper; wrap up and refrigerate. Chill the dough until quite firm, at least four hours. (The dough may be kept, well wrapped and refrigerated, for up to four days before baking.)
• On a lightly floured wooden board, roll out a portion of dough oneeighth-inch thick. Stamp out cookies with a three- or three-and-one-half-inch cutter and place them, at least two inches apart, on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Have the coconut at your side. Brush egg white over the surface of each cookie, then top with a generous sprinkling of coconut. Lightly press down the coconut so that it sticks to the cookie.
• Bake each sheet of jumbles for 10 minutes in a preheated, 400-degree oven, on the lower third level. Remove the cookies from the sheet with a wide spatula to cooling racks. Store the jumbles in airtight containers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Blend in egg. Add flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough, 1-1/2 inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 2 to 3 minutes; transfer to wire racks. Cool completely. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Beat shortening and cocoa until blended. Beat in molasses, sugar and eggs. Beat in coffee. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and cloves; gradually beat into molasses mixture. Dough will be very soft. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to roll., Preheat oven to 350°. On a well floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-1/2-in. round cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets., Bake until edges are set, 14-16 minutes. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate as desired with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• 1. Chill dough if to soft. Drop by tablespoon or cookie scoop onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake just until, when touched lightly with finger, almost no imprint remains. Careful not to over bake.

• 11. ****Lillian***** You can add more orange zest and either orange extract or juice to the frosting. But if you use fresh juice make sure and add it before the milk so you will know how much milk you need to add. If the frosting gets to thin, just add some more powdered sugar. Hope you enjoy this, it is sooo good. You could also do this with lemon or lime the same way.
