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.
