CRISPY COCONUT COOKIES



Crispy Coconut Cookies image

This recipe was passed along to me a number years ago when I made mention I was looking for new recipes to add to my collection for Christmas baking. This excellent crispy cookie is not only great at Christmas, it's one of those simple delights great to serve for any occasion ... one of those 'looks simple but you can't just eat one' kind of cookie. I suspect the cream of tartar makes for a crispy light cookie. NOTE: any fine coconut can be used when making these cookies, do not substitute with medium or coarse coconut, they just do not work for these cookies. Fine coconut is readily available in the baking section of most stores.

Time 25m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup shortening (part butter)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract or 1 teaspoon coconut extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup desiccated coconut (Do not use flaked. As NOTED in the preamble you may use the fine coconut readily found in the baking)

Steps:

  • Cream shortening with sugar.
  • Add beaten egg and extract.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and add gradually to creamed mixture.
  • Add the fine dessicated coconut and mix throughly.
  • Roll into small balls, put on a greased cookie sheet, press down with a fork.
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 325, cookie should be nicely colored.
  • A reminder that ovens vary, so do watch your cookies!
  • Yield will depend on the size cookie you make, so mine is a general yield for amount of flour used.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough: This will ensure that all the cookies are the same size and shape.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Crispy coconut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover coconut flakes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of these cookies that will be sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet snack, give these crispy coconut cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
