I am seeing green everywhere around St.Patrick's day. A week ahead, I too made some cookies to honor St.Patrick. I didn't add any green color to my cookies, but served them on green color cupcake liners:) Here is some coconut cookies to celebrate St.Patrick's day.
This cookie should be a bit chewy inside as well as crispy on outside.
Reference: I tried Martha's coconut cookies and made some alterations according to my taste.
Ingredients:
Dry shredded coconut - 1 1/2 cups for powdering + 1/4 cup for coating
white sugar - 3/4 cup
brown sugar - 1/2 cup
salt - 1/2 tsp
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
unsalted butter - 1/2 cup (1 stick)
egg - 1
vanilla extract - 1 tsp

| Cool the baked cookies in a wire rack. |
Dry shredded coconut - 1 1/2 cups for powdering + 1/4 cup for coating
white sugar - 3/4 cup
brown sugar - 1/2 cup
salt - 1/2 tsp
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
unsalted butter - 1/2 cup (1 stick)
egg - 1
vanilla extract - 1 tsp
cardamom powder - 1 tsp (heaped)
All purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 deg F.
Set aside 1/4 cup coconut in a plate for coating the cookies.
Grind the coconut in a mixer to a fine stage (by pulsing) along with sugar, salt.
Add cold butter, egg, vanilla extract , cardamom and process till smooth.
Sift the flour with baking powder twice.
Keep the flour in a large mixing bowl and add the prepared coconut.
Mix well.
Using a tablespoon as measure, scoop out 1 ball of dough.
Slightly roll it to a ball and flatten it mildly.
Dip it in coconut we kept on the plate.
Arrange 2 inch apart in baking sheets (as this cookies will puff up).
Bake until light golden brown color appears on bottom edges.
It took 13-15 minutes for me.
Always keep watching this from the second batch, as it gets brown quickly.
Cool for 1 minute, transfer to wire rack, let cool completely.
Store in airtight containers.
Stays fresh for a week.
Serving suggestions:
Makes 33 cookies of 2 inch dia.
Serve as dessert or snack.
Note:
Prepare this dough and keep refrigerated for 2 weeks, so that we can make fresh cookies whenever we want.
Sweetened dry coconut can also be used instead of dry coconut flakes
