Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Small bowl
- Measuring Cups And Spoons
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Mixer or blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups cornstarch
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup soft unsalted butter
- ¼ cup grated coconut Topping
- One teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F (or 175 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure that the cookies do not stick to each other.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt with the help of a whisk. Mix well until all ingredients are well combined.
- Add soft unsalted butter and powdered sugar in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth, light and fluffy. After that, we can add vanilla extract to it and mix well until it is well combined.
- Now we add dry ingredients, paste with butter-sugar, baste gradually, and mix well until smooth dough comes together. And remember to scrape down the bowl's walls at least once while mixing.
- Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into balls. Then, flare them by applying some pressure with your hand or a cookie-shaped scoop. You can also use a fork to make criss cross lines by gently pressing.
- Sprinkle the grated coconut on top of the cookie as you like. Space the cookies 2 inches apart on a prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until cookies are golden brown at the edge. Cool down the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. And then enjoy.
