BAKED COCONUT BALLS



Baked Coconut Balls image

During the traditional Mimouna celebration at the end of Passover, many Israeli Jews lay out an elaborate table with sweets. Because dietary rules during the holiday ban flour from the house (including frozen cookies that contain it), the treats are usually flourless. Here, ground coconut turns the texture of these cookies into a soft and pleasantly cloudlike.

Categories     easy, cookies and bars, dessert

Time 35m

Yield About 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups/255 grams unsweetened shredded coconut, preferably Bob's Red Mill
3 tablespoons apricot, raspberry or orange jam, or maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 egg yolks
1/4 to 1/2 cup/31 to 62 grams confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup apricot jam
Ground pistachios, slivered almonds or rainbow sprinkles

Steps:

  • Make the cookies: Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, add the coconut, jam or syrup or honey, baking powder and egg yolks and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.
  • Squeeze the mixture together to form small balls, about 1 inch wide, and roll them in confectioners' sugar to fully coat. Transfer the balls to a parchment-lined baking sheet lightly coated with cooking spray, spacing them 1 inch apart. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: In a small pot over medium-low heat, whisk together the apricot jam and 1/4 cup water until warm. Remove from heat and pour into a small bowl.

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.
