Simply Delicious Coconut Cookies - Low in Sugar and Saturated fat. Eggless too !

I have to admit, coconut is my favourite when it comes to sweets. I adore the Indian coconut cookies or khatai as we call it back home.

Found this recipe on www.divinetaste.com and I just couldn't stop myself from baking these goodies. I have used organic coconut oil for a healthier version.

Here is the recipe and the ingredients:

Ingredients:

100 gm plain flour
50 gm coconut Oil ( I'd add a little bit more as the cookies were slightly dry, maybe 75gm)
50 gm fine sugar (icing or confectioners sugar)
50 gm grated fresh coconut
¼ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method:

Preheat the oven at 175 degree centigrade. Mix the baking powder with the flour and sieve once to make the mixture uniform. Beat the butter and the sugar until soft and creamy with the help of a spoon or a wire whisk. Put in the flour, grated coconut, vanilla essence and milk and form into a dough. Roll the dough into a cylinder. Cut into equal pieces and place them on a baking tray lined with baking parchment/paper. Lightly press the pieces with a fork. Bake at 175 degree centigrade for 15 minutes.
Makes about 24 bite sized cookies or 12 large ones
