This is my daughter Sachi’s recipe. To be precise, this is the recipe that she learned at her school many years ago. I loved these cookies, so I asked her to write down the recipe in my recipe book, which will belong to her one day. There are many Coconut Cookie recipes out there, but I think this is the best one.

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 170 to 180°C. Line base of a baking tray with baking paper.
2

In a bowl, mix softened Butter and Sugar together until smooth, then add Egg and mix well until light and fluffy.
3

Add SR Flour and Coconut and combine.
4

Drop dough by teaspoonfuls or about 2cm balls onto baking paper on tray. Cookies need plenty space around each because they will melt and go flat & large.
5

Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly golden. Cool on wire racks.
