Make these coconut cookies for the perfect pick-me-up. They're coated in luxurious dark chocolate and toasted coconut sprinkles

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Afternoon tea

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

200g unsalted butter, softened
75g caster sugar
75g light brown soft sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 large egg
275g plain flour
125g desiccated coconut, toasted and cooled
100g dark chocolate

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.

Categories     Cookies     Mixer     Dessert     Bake     Christmas     Coconut     Almond     Winter     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes about 6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon crushed ammonium carbonate (also called baker's ammonium)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Sift together flour and salt.
  • Beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Beat in ammonium carbonate and almond extract until combined well. Mix in flour mixture at low speed just until blended, then stir in coconut. Form dough into a disk and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls and arrange 1 inch apart on greased baking sheets.
  • Bake cookies in batches in upper third of oven until pale golden around edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cookies bake more evenly.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before you frost them: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
