(± 40 stuks)

(recept PRINTEN)
315 g bloem70 g zeeuwse bloem
½ tl zout
170 g zachte boter, ongezouten
155 g poedersuiker
60 g gele basterd suiker
2 eieren
1 eierdooier
1 tl vanille extract
175 g geraspte kokosnoot
70 g grove rietsuiker, ter garnering
Verwarm de oven voor op 170°C.
Rol het deeg uit tot ± 3 mm dikte en steek er koekjes uit. Rol de overgebleven stukken deeg weer op nieuw uit, maar doe dit maar één keer, anders worden de koekjes snel taai. Leg ze op een bakplaat met bakpapier, bestrooi ze met een beetje rietsuiker en bak de koekjes 15-18 minuten tot ze goudbruin zijn. Plaats ze naar een rooster om af te koelen.

Coconut is always a hit here, in whatever dish it's in. My husband loves it, but so do the kids. On a regular basis I buy a whole coconut, which will be smashed open outside and cut into pieces it's gone in no-time. Whatever it is: coconut ice cream, coconut sorbet, coconutmacaroons (not to be compaired to the French style macaroons BTW), traybake with coconut flour that are on my blog, also bread with coconut, coconuts in curries and other asian food... we're coconuts about it.
When I want to bake cookies and don't have an idea yet what kind..."make some with coconut mom". Always a hit in this household.
I found this recipe in an Italian baking book, because Italians love coconut too. In the summertime you sometimes see a little cart (like a small ice cream cart) that has slices of fresh coconut for sale in them sprayed with water by a little fountain inside. I couldn't imagine such a cart here in Amsterdam in summer :). These cookies are crispy (if you don't overwork them) and I like that in a cookie and they stay crispy for several days kept in a container.
