Simple sugar cookies get a burst of Caribbean flavour from coconut extract, flour and milk, and then turned into grinning goodies with chocolate chips and cashews! Ingredients:
5 tbsp sugar |
pinch salt |
1/3 cup shortening |
1 tbsp coconut extract |
1 1/4 cups pastry flour |
3 tbsp coconut flour |
1/4 tsp baking powder |
1 tbsp coconut milk (not lite) |
48 large chocolate chips |
12 cashews, halved lengthwise |
Directions:
1. Cream together sugar, salt and shortening until fluffy.
2. Add extract, beat well.
3. Combine flours and baking powder, gently mix in alternately with the coconut milk to form a smooth mixture.
4. Work dough into a disc on a lightly floured surface.
5. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 24 hours.
6. Preheat oven to 400F.
7. Roll out dough to 1/4 thick, cut out shapes with cookie cutters and decorate with cashews and chocolate chips (or anything else you desire... I like making the smileys!).
8. Bake 7-8 minutes.
9. Cool on sheets 5 minutes and remove to wire rack.
