It seems that Minneapolis is not going to see "real summer" this year. Its June already, but even yesterday the sky was all cloudy and it was drizzling outside. Aise mousam mein, thought of having freshly baked cookies with a cup of coffee. Then started searching what is available in my pantry and saw a packet of coconut resting there. Immediately decided to make this eggless coconut cookies which I once found on Food network site. I adopted the recipe from 'here' with few changes to suit my palette. So here comes the recipe: 
Ingredients : - All Purpose flour 2 cups
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cup sweetened coconut, toasted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- In a mixer with a paddle attachment, whip the butter until very light and fluffy.
- Add the sugar and continue whipping.
- Then add vanilla extract and mix.
- Toss together the coconut(toasted in oven for 15 mins at 350 F), flour ,Baking soda and salt then add to the butter mixture and mix until blended.
- Cover with a plastic wrap and freeze the dough for 15-20 mins.
- Take a little dough at a time, roughly shape the dough into a cookie( the dough is not at all sticky so very easy to handle ). Instead, you could even drop dough by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 250 F
- Bake for 15 mins. Then turn the cookie sheet and bake for another 15 mins. After 30 mins when the color was not changed I increased the Temperature to 375 F and baked for another 20 mins until crisp but barely colored.
- Cool on wire rack till completely cool.
So crispy cookies are ready to enjoy with coffee !! Jab tak Summer nahien aata hei tab tak coffee ke saath in cookies ko hi enjoy karenge! ;)And now Iam sending this crispy cookies to Suganya for her event ' AFAM- Coconut' ...
