Show ingredients
- coconut flakes (fat content not less than 65%) - 130 g;
- flour – 40 g. (or 4 tbsp);
- eggs (only whites) – from 2 large eggs;
- powdered sugar – 130 g.
Preparation
- Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Sift the flour, eggs should be at room temperature.
- Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. For making coconut cookies, we need only the whites.
- Pour the whites into a blender cup, add a pinch of salt. With the "whisk" attachment, beat until fluffy foam forms.
- While continuing to beat the whites, gradually add the powdered sugar. The sugar should be added in small portions.
- After the egg white mixture is beaten with the sugar, add the flour to the cup. Do not beat the flour at high speed, but simply fold it in with light movements using a whisk.
- Transfer the prepared mixture to a bowl, and fold in the coconut flakes in three to four stages. For this cookie, it is better to choose flakes with more than 60% moisture.
- The dough for the coconut cookies is ready, let it sit for five to ten minutes to allow the flakes and flour to infuse.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Form small coconut balls, about the size of a walnut. To ensure the cookies are of the same size, scoop them with a teaspoon previously moistened with water. This way the mixture will slide out of the spoon easily, and all the balls will be approximately the same size. The oven should already be preheated to 100⁰ C.
- In the oven, set the top – bottom mode. Bake the cookies for thirty to thirty-five minutes.
- Transfer the coconut flake cookies to a bowl and enjoy the delicious and fragrant pastry.
