How to make White Chocolate and Coconut Cookies
These White Chocolate and Coconut Cookies are easy to make. They require a little time because the cookies have to cool down before you can start decorating. First make half of the cookies with white chocolate and coconut, let it rest so that the chocolate dries. And then the other half will be made with white chocolate decorated with dark chocolate.
How to make the cookies
Preheat the oven to 170º.
In a bowl add the butter, egg yolk, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix with the hand mixer for about 3 minutes. With a spatula add the ground almonds and then the flour. There will come a point where you have to continue by hand until you get a united dough that does not stick to your hands.
Divide the dough into pieces of about 25 grams and make balls. Then flatten the ball and put an almond in half. Close the dough around the almond and make an elongated shape. Repeat with each cookie and place them on a baking sheet.
Flatten them slightly and bake them at 170º degrees for approximately 12 minutes. The top part should be light and the bottom part should look golden. Let them cool on a rack for about half an hour or until they are no longer hot.
How to decorate the cookies
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or au Bain marie. Dip half of the cookie in the chocolate, you can help yourself with a spoon. Decorate half of the cookie with white chocolate with grated coconut and place it on a tray covered with aluminum foil. Repeat this process with all the cookies and let them rest so that the chocolate cools and the coconut sticks well. You can put the cookie tray in the refrigerator to make this process faster.
Now you just need to decorate the other half. Dip it in the white chocolate and put it back on the aluminum foil. To decorate with dark chocolate, melt it in the microwave or in a bain-marie. Put it in a plastic bag and cut a very small piece at the tip so that the chocolate can come out. Make lines on the cookie with the dark chocolate and pass it with a toothpick to make a beautiful decoration. You can see how it's done in the video below. Let it cool in the refrigerator and store them in a tightly closed container outside the refrigerator (unless it is the middle of summer and the chocolate melts).
Enjoy them and... Bismillah! 🙂
