How to Make Whole Wheat Coconut Cookies
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon anise extract, 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water, and 1 tablespoon cognac.
- Add the wet ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar. Stir in 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 cup chopped walnuts, and 200-225 ml whole wheat flour (see notes for thickness). Mix until just combined. The dough will be stiff.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust warm cookies with powdered sugar (optional).
