My First post : Kopra ni biscuits or Coconut Macaroons

Passion for cooking and love for eating variety of food... Well that's me and today this is my first post. Idea of penning down my recipes developed long back, but work and home used to keep me busy. Now since I have taken break from work, I want to fulfill my long dreamed thought of creating " The Spicy Gujarat". 

I had lots of fresh coconut at my home and I just didn't wanted it to get spoiled or eat it anyway. Adding it to any curry was not a option as my hubby doesn't like it that way. So I started searching for some recipe which should be easy and most importantly ingredients should be easily available at home. Then I found these  coconut macaroon. 

I had Coconut macaroons or Kopra ni biscuit long back as a kid when my papa use to bring them from famous bakery in Valsad and me and my brother just loved them.But all recipes were either using condense milk or egg, both of them not available at home. But after looking at Coconut Macaroons picture I desperately wanted to prepare them. So here goes my recipe with no egg or no condense milk..Just sweet and simple..My innovation.

Ingredients :

1. 1 1/2 cup  Fresh Coconut grated in mixture bowl.
2. 2 tbsp fresh home cream
3. 1/4 cup sugar
4. 1 tsp vanilla essence
5. 3 tbsp maida or all purpose flour

Method :

Preheat oven at 200 degree for 10 mins. 

Meanwhile mix all ingredients in a bowl.  You can adjust sugar as per taste. Dough consistency should be too firm. It should be thick enough to make  small dumplings of irregular shape. 

Grease cooking sheet with butter and arrange macaroons. Macaroons can be lines close enough as this cookies will not rise. 

Bake in oven for 20 mins at 200 degree till macaroons turn golden brown.
