Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 250 gm All-Purpose Flour also known as refined flour
- 100 gm Semolina suji
- 100 gm Sugar powdered
- 100 gm Desiccated Coconut
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 50-75 ml Milk add as needed to achieve desired dough consistency.
- 1/2 tsp Salt enhances flavor
- 100 gm Butter softened, unsalted
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine all-purpose flour, semolina, powdered sugar, desiccated coconut, softened butter, salt, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
- Gradually add milk, mixing until a smooth and slightly sticky dough forms. Add milk in small increments to avoid making the dough too wet.
Rest and Shape
- Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in softer cookies.
- Shape the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). You can flatten them slightly with a fork for a more rustic look.
Bake the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on the cookies as ovens vary.
Cool and Enjoy
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious coconut semolina cookies with a cup of tea or your favorite beverage!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Coconut Semolina Cookies
- For extra flavor, toast the desiccated coconut lightly in a dry pan before adding it to the dough.
- If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Don't overbake the cookies; slightly underbaked cookies will be softer, while overbaked ones will be dry and hard.
- Experiment with adding different extracts like almond or lemon for unique flavor combinations.
