Ingredients

• coconut flakes (fat content of at least 65%) - 130 g;
• flour - 40 g. (or 4 tbsp);
• eggs (only whites) - from 2 pcs;
• powdered sugar - 130 g.

Preparation

1. Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Sift the flour, the eggs should be at room temperature.

2. Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. For making coconut cookies, we only need the whites.

3. Pour the egg whites into a blender cup, add a pinch of salt. Using the 'whisk' attachment, beat until fluffy.

4. While continuing to beat the egg whites, gradually add the powdered sugar. The sugar should be added in small portions.

5. After the egg white mixture is whipped with the powdered sugar, add the flour to the cup. Do not beat the flour at high speed, but gently fold it in using the whisk.

6. Transfer the prepared mixture to a bowl, and fold in the coconut flakes in three to four stages. For such cookies, it is better to choose flakes with more than 60% moisture.

7. The dough for coconut cookies is ready; let it rest for five to ten minutes to allow the flakes and flour to infuse.

8. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.

9. Form small coconut balls, about the diameter of a walnut. To ensure the cookies are the same size, scoop them with a teaspoon, previously moistened with water. This way, the mixture will easily come out of the spoon, and all the balls will be approximately the same size. The oven should already be preheated to 100°C.

10. Set the oven to top-bottom mode. Bake the cookies for thirty to thirty-five minutes.

11. Transfer the cookies with coconut flakes to a bowl and enjoy the delicious and aromatic baked goods.

Homemade cookies with coconut flakes should be stored in a container with a lid or in a bag.
