    Instructions
     

    Preparing Coconut Cookie Dough

    • In a clean glass bowl, combine room-temperature butter and sugar. Using a whisker or an electric hand mixer on medium speed, cream them together until the mixture is fluffy and has lightened in color. This process incorporates air and gives a lighter texture to your cookies, setting the foundation for a crisp finish.

    • To the creamed butter and sugar, add all-purpose flour, coconut flakes, baking powder, and a pinch of cardamom powder.

    • Using your hands, a spoon, or a spatula, carefully blend all the ingredients together. Ensure you mix gently to avoid kneading the dough, as this can result in tough cookies. Aim for a uniform mixture, but take care not to overwork it.
      mixing to a dough
    • Gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously until the dough comes together. The dough should be soft but not sticky; adjust the milk as necessary to achieve the correct consistency.

    • Take a small portion of the dough, and roll it into a ball between your palms. Then flatten it slightly to form a disc shape. Remember, they don’t need to be perfect circles—slight irregularities give them a charming, homemade look.

    • Roll or sprinkle the shaped dough with the remaining coconut flakes, ensuring they stick to the surface. This will add an extra crunch and enhance their visual appeal once baked.

    Baking the Cookies in Oven

    • Place the cookie dough on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart to allow them to spread out evenly during baking. This spacing is crucial as it prevents the cookies from merging into each other.

    • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the baking tray in the oven and bake the cookies for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn golden in color.

    • Once the cookies are done, remove them from the oven. Let them cool down completely on the tray or a cooling rack before serving.

    Baking the Cookies in a Pan

    • Place a stand inside a kadai or pan. Heat it over medium flame for about 10 minutes with the lid closed to create an oven-like environment.

    • After preheating, remove the lid and carefully place a plate filled with shaped cookie dough inside the kadai or pan.
    • Close the lid and let the cookies bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until they turn golden in color. Monitor the heat to ensure even baking.

    • Once baked, remove the cookies from the kadai and allow them to cool down completely on a rack. This helps them set and enhances their crispiness.

    Chef's Notes and Tips

    Here are some useful tips to make the perfect Coconut Cookies:
    • Choosing the Right Coconut: To ensure your cookies are wonderfully crunchy, opt for dry coconut flakes or desiccated coconut. These options hold up well during baking, giving your cookies that perfect crunch. If you prefer a fresher flavor, you can use freshly grated coconut—just make sure to dry roast it first to enhance the flavor and eliminate any extra moisture.
    • Sugar Choices: I always reach for granulated sugar because it helps create that crisp texture we all love in a cookie. However, powdered sugar is a fantastic alternative—it mixes in more easily, making the creaming process easy and ensuring a smooth dough.
    • Watch Your Baking Time: Remember, oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. Start checking a few minutes before they're supposed to be done, especially if your cookies are on the thinner side—they might cook quicker and we don't want them to overcook!
    • Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps them set properly and enhances their crunchy texture.
