Easy 4-Ingredient Coconut Cookie Recipe

Easy 4-Ingredient Coconut Cookie

Ever had a date with someone drop dead gorgeous and wondered how someone so gorgeous was so easily available. Once you make these cookies you will ask yourself how something so delicious could be so easy to make. 

As the name suggests these cookies are really easy to prepare, and it uses 4 ingredients only. And no, cake or cookie mix is not one of them. The cookies turn out to be very crispy and coconutty.

The recipe is in parts instead of specific measurements. I used a coffee spoon for measuring the ingredients. You can use any spoon, cup or holding vessel. 

You can use either butter or oil. I used oil and it worked perfectly. If you use oil I suggest that you add a small amount of milk or water to the oil so that the water/milk content is about 10-15%. If you don’t add water or milk the cookies will still be very delicious but it will be very very crumbly. Butter already has 20% water content while oil is 100% fat. Instead of water or milk you can add golden or dark syrup. The cookies will be crunchier and slightly chewy.

If you don’t have self raising flour, a substitute is 1 cup flour, 1½ teaspoon baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt.

Ingredients

1 part sifted self raising flour

1 part sugar

1 part desiccated coconut

‘Enough’ melted butter or oil (about 1/2 part)

Directions

1.       Mix all the dry ingredients

2.      Add enough melted butter or oil to form a dough of the right consistency

3.      Bake at 180 degrees until golden brown and delicious, about 10 minutes
