I always prefer to stock my tea time snack like biscuits and cookies. Though i have made cookies before also but always wanted to make an egg less version. After a long search on internet, finally found a fool proof recipe at NishaMadhulika’s website at http://nishamadhulika.com/en/471-eggless-coconut-cookies-recipe.html . Followed the recipe to the T and trust me it came out superb.
The coconut flavor is again one of my fav. My taste buds go crazy when its a coconut cookie. The cookies were light and absolutely melts in mouth. Perfect for kids with milk and adults can enjoy them anytime with a cup of hot tea.

- Sieve the flour and baking powder together and keep aside in a large bowl.
- In a small pan / bowl melt the butter.
- Add sugar in the melted butter and beat well till the mixture becomes creamy in texture.
- Add dessicated coconut in the dry flour mixture and mix nicely. Now add the sugar butter mixture in it and mix rigorously.
- Knead the mixture to make a soft dough. If the mixture seems too dry u can add 2 tbsp milk.
- Pinch a ball out from the dough and flatten it on your palm to give the shape of a cookie. Similarly make more cookies out of the dough.
- Place the cookies on a greased baking tray. Make sure the cookies have some space left in between each other, as they will expand in size while baking.
- Pre heat the oven at 180 degree C and place the baking tray in it and bake the cookies for 15 mins.
- Repeat the same process for rest of the batches.
- After 15 minutes take the cookies out, check if if the cookies have turned light brown in the center and dark brown at the edges. If yes then the cookies are baked else set the oven for 5 more minutes. Cookies are baked, take out the Coconut Cookies from the oven.
- Place the cookies on a wire rack and allow them to cool.
- Once the cookies are cool you can store them all in an air tight container.
- Serve the coconut cookies to your children with a glass of hot milk!!!
