Cashew Coconut Bites (Day 6)
Little cashew cloud like cookies that are crumbly, nutty, coconuty and sugary. They are rolled into balls, baked and dunked in icing sugar for that snowball effect.
Equipment
- Baking tray
- Baking paper
- Mixing bowl
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 1 Vanilla spiced cookie dough recipe
- 1/4 cup Cashews toasted & finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Desiccated coconut lightly toasted
- 1/2 cup Icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170℃ and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- We start by crumbling the prepared cookie dough into a bowl, add the finely chopped cashew nuts, desiccated coconut and using your hands/rubber spatula mix the dough together until the cashews and coconut are incorporated.
- Pinch the dough into little balls (ideally 10 gm = 2 tsp in weight) and portion it out. Roll each piece between your palms to get a round ball. Dunk the ball into the icing sugar and place on a lined baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 170℃ for 6-8 mins until the top looks dry and some cookies might have cracked a little.
- Let them cool completely before dunking in more icing sugar and serving.
Notes
- Do not over bake these cookies as they will dry out and become chalky to eat. Make sure to under bake them and let them firm up while cooling down.
- You cannot skip on the icing sugar as it gives them the snowball effect.
