Eggless coconut cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups All purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1.5 cup Unsweetend desiccated Coconut
• 1 cup Butter
• 1 cup Sugar
• 5 teaspoon Milk
• Few drops of Vanilla essence

Steps

1. Gather the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder, along with the desiccated coconut.
2. Have the sugar, butter, vanilla essence and milk ready. Sift the dry ingredients together.
3. Crush any lumps left at the end with a spatula, if there are any, and set the sifted mixture aside. Put the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl.
4. Cream the butter and sugar together, then add the desiccated coconut followed by the flour, vanilla essence and milk.
5. Keep mixing until the dough is soft and well bound, without being sticky or runny.
6. Shape the dough into logs, wrap it in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. The dough performs best chilled: it is easier to handle, and chilling improves the cookies' flavour and texture.
7. Prepare a baking tray by greasing it.
8. Remove the chilled dough logs from the refrigerator and cut them into your desired shapes.
9. Everything is ready, with baking now just a few minutes away.
10. Give the cookies a 300 degree F bake for 15-20 minutes.
