wiseheartIngredients for 95:
200 g butter (margarine)
200 g powdered sugar (icing sugar?)
1 pinch of salt
1 egg (or 2, in case of really small eggs)
300 g white flour
150 g desiccated coconut
*For the decoration:*
50 g white chocolate
50 g desiccated coconut
How to make it:
1. Stir butter, icing sugar & salt until creamy; stir egg into the mix.
2. Mix flour with coconut, add to the above and knead until it becomes a smooth, solid dough.
3. Wrap into tinfoil and let it rest in the fridge for cca 30 min.
4. In the meantime pre-heat oven to 200°C & cover the baking tin with baking paper.
5. Roll out the dough cca 3 mm thin. Cut out little lambs-
6. Bake them 5-10 minutes (no brown rims, please!). Let them cool.
7. In the meantime melt white chocolate. Spread the coconut on a flat plate.
8. Paint the now cold cookies with a little chocolate and press them into the coconut, so that it remains stuck to the chocolate.
9. Knock the rim of the cookies carefully to get rid of the coconut that may be too much and let them dry.
This is the recipe we're trying with the kids tomorrow. I'll tell you if it really yields 95 cookies, which I actually doubt, and I'll try to make photos.
