Crunchy Coconut Cookies - Real Recipes from Mums

These crispy & crunchy coconut cookies are so addictive- and easy to make too!

Ingredients (makes 21 Large Cookies)

125g Butter
1 cup Caster sugar
1 Egg
2 cups SR flour, sifted
1 cup Desiccated coconut
1-2 TBS Milk
Pinch Salt
Extra sugar for the tops of cookies

Method

Cream the butter and sugar.
Add in the egg and mix well to combine
Add in the flour, coconut, milk and salt and bring together to form a stiff type dough
Roll 1 TBS mix per biscuit into a ball and then flatten in the palm of your hand to create cookie.
Dip the top of each cookie into some sugar, and then place on to a lined baking tray with space in between each one and bake in a non fan forced oven set to 190 degrees for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly golden
Cook on a wire rack

Notes

If you want them super crunchy, flatten quite thin and allow to cook slightly longer. If you prefer a slightly softer Centre, leave them a bit thicker in the Centre and only cook until just golden.
