My hubby has another badminton match tonight and guess who was nominated to provide some baked goodies? You guessed it, me again, not that I’m complaining because I love it. I was going to bake a Lemon Drizzle Cake but someone else is making a large cake already. So I decided to bake these Coconut Cookies which will no doubt put a smile on the men’s faces (don’t ask but you can imagine what the hubby said these resemble)! These moreish cookies are just delicious and have a macaroon taste and feel to them, with the coconut delivering a chewy consistency.
Coconut CookiesMakes about 20
Ingredients
100g butter, softened
100g caster sugar
1 large egg
100g plain flour
¼ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Pinch of salt
100g dessicated coconut
Glace cherries for decoration, cut in half
Pre-heat the oven to 180oC/fan 160oC/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment paper.
In a mixer, cream the sugar and butter together until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and mix well. Then sift in the flour, baking powder, salt and add the coconut and mix well.
Roll out the dough into walnut size pieces and place on baking tray and flatten slightly. Place half a cherry on top of each biscuit and transfer to oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.
Then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Hey Wifey,
You have yet again out-done yourself. Just a shame they have to survive until I get to the club else I think they would have been finished already.
I probably dont tell you often enough how much I appreciate all you do for me.
Love you lots
Hubby

Men, pah! They do look good, for totally different reasons :)
Snooky your not blind, I had totally missed out the coconut in the ingredients list but have corrected it now.

They look so good Maria, these actually take me right back to my childhood because I remember my gran making cookies very similar to these. I've never made them but I'm going to have to for old times sake!
