Directions
Crispy Coconut Cookies,This recipe was passed along to me a number years ago when I made mention I was looking for new recipes to add to my collection for Christmas baking. This excellent crispy cookie is not only great at Christmas, it’s one of those simple delights great to serve for any occasion … one of those ‘looks simple but you can’t just eat one’ kind of cookie. I suspect the cream of tartar makes for a crispy light cookie. NOTE: any fine coconut can be used when making these cookies, do not substitute with medium or coarse coconut, they just do not work for these cookies. Fine coconut is readily available in the baking section of most stores.,This has been a favorite for many years. A couple points, I usually just toast regular sweetened coconut if I don’t have desiccated and it turns out great, and I rarely use cream of tarter. Regardless this never fails and it’s one of my husband’s favorite cookies. At times I turn it into a jam cookie or drizzle dark chocolate.,I’ve been using this website for years and I’ve never been compelled to leave a review, but, these cookies were amazing! They were crisp and flavorful without being to sweet. I made the recipe vegan by using coconut cream (the solidified fat on top of a can of full fat coconut milk) instead of butter and a flax egg instead of an egg. I made my own dessicated coconut by grinding unsweetened dried coconut flakes in a coffee grinder. I scooped the batter with a small cookie scoop (I think it was a size 50 scoop) and i didn’t need to flatten it at all. Because of the coconut cream the cookies spread beautifully so they need to be spaced appropriately.
