I've got essays for university to write... so naturally I'm procrastinating, and what better way to procrastinate then to spend some time in the kitchen baking cookies! Today I've got a yummy recipe for you... Chocolate, Cherry and Coconut Cookies:
Ingredients
200g unsalted butter
85g caster sugar
85g soft brown sugar
1 egg
225g self-raising flour
100g roughly chopped chocolate
85g roughly chopped glacé cherries
85g dessicated coconut
Method
1. Preheat the oven to Gas mark 5, or 190 degrees, or 170 degrees if your oven is fan assisted.
3. Roughly chop the chocolate and cherries, and add them to the mixture along with the coconut flour and salt. Mix the ingredients until it turns into a thick cookie dough.
4. You can either use non-stick baking sheets or (as I usually prefer to do) just grease 2 baking trays.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until they start to go golden. Ensure that the cookies are still pale and soft in the middle and the edges aren't too dark in colour as it is very easy to overcook them.
In my opinion cookies are always best when they are still warm from the oven and squidgy in the middle. store the cookies in an air-tight container and eat within a week.
Alternatively you could try nutty cookies by exchanging the cherries and coconut for chopped nuts and a generous dollop of peanut butter!
